India has strengthened its textile and sericulture
partnership with Georgia through a high-level engagement aimed at expanding
trade, boosting research collaboration, and accelerating market access for
value added silk and textile products. The visit, led by senior officials from
the Ministry of Textiles and the Central Silk Board, marks an important step in
advancing India’s global textile diplomacy under the leadership of the Hon’ble
Prime Minister.
The delegation participated in the 11th BACSA
International Conference in Georgia between November 17 and 21, highlighting
India’s leadership in traditional silk knowledge and its relevance to creative
and cultural industries. India showcased its innovation through the 5 in 1 Silk
Stole, a premium product that integrates Mulberry, Oak Tasar, Tropical Tasar,
Muga, and Eri silks. The product drew strong interest due to its market
potential and representation of India’s rich silk heritage.
Indian experts also presented research papers on wild silk
and Indo Bulgarian collaborations to develop a productive bivoltine silkworm
hybrid for India. Discussions were held with Georgian universities, sericulture
laboratories, research institutions, apparel companies, and the Georgian
Chamber of Commerce and Industry to identify new areas of cooperation.
Key outcomes include enhanced bilateral cooperation in silk
research, diversification of textile trade, opportunities in high value silk
products, and stronger institutional partnerships. The engagement reinforces
India’s commitment to strengthening cross border partnerships and expanding the
global presence of its textile and silk sectors.
