According to its official site information, Yarn Expo is a leading sourcing platform for both exhibitors and visitors. Suppliers from Asian and European countries showcase their latest collections of natural and blended yarns, including cotton, wool, flax / regenerated flax, and man-made fibres and yarns, as well as specialty products, including elastic, fancy, and blended yarns.

The show is also an ideal opportunity for overseas buyers to meet some of the industry's leading domestic suppliers.

With both spring and autumn editions in Shanghai, the show provides an excellent opportunity for overseas suppliers to build stronger relationships in the region and increase their presence in the market.

Earlier in February, he visited a prominent Buddhist temple in Shanghai, highlighting the strong cultural ties between India and China--the Jing'an Temple, inspired by the architecture of Bodh Gaya.

Located in the heart of Shanghai, the Jing'an Temple is an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling metropolis. The temple's history dates back to 247 AD and is a testament to the widespread reach of Buddhist traditions from India. (ANI)
