The upcoming INTERFABRIC-2025.Autumn exhibition, taking place at Crocus Expo, is poised to play a key role in enhancing economic, trade, and humanitarian ties between Russia and fellow CIS nations through greater collaboration in the light industry sector.

During a recent meeting of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin confirmed that the CIS Council of Heads of Government, held in Tajikistan, approved two significant frameworks:

The Concept for the Development of Cooperation in the Light Industry Sector
A detailed roadmap for implementation

These strategic documents aim to drive joint projects, improve manufacturing output, expand product diversity, and boost overall competitiveness across the light industry within the CIS.

Light Industry as a Vector for Regional Growth:

Signed on June 5, 2025, the Concept emphasizes enhanced collaboration in several areas:

Raw material processing (animal and plant origin)
Fabric and textile production
Modernization of equipment and tech-based innovation
Unification of safety standards across CIS countries
Creation of competence centers for knowledge-sharing and training

These measures are expected to foster a new level of interstate cooperation, leading to increased production of consumer and industrial textile goods, and further strengthening the regional value chain.
