What happened
A high-level delegation from Gujarat visited Daegu, South Korea, on January 1, 2026, to participate in the Gujarat-Korea Textile Industry Cooperation Roundtable at the Korea Textile Development Institute. During the meeting, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi stated that Gujarat covers the entire textile value chain, from cotton fields to global markets, noting that Gujarat accounts for nearly 65% of India's denim production and about one-third of its man-made fibre production. The discussion aimed to combine South Korea's expertise in advanced technologies with Gujarat's manufacturing capabilities.
