The Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) has expressed serious concern over the violent demonstrations in Vietnam. A dispute between China and Vietnam over the South China sea has resulted in a series of anti-Chinese agitations in Vietnam. In the process, many Taiwanese plants in Vietnam and office buildings have been mistaken for Chinese-owned plants and were vandalized. Taiwan wants the Vietnamese government to end such incidents.
Trade relationships between Taiwan and Vietnam have been strong and close. Taiwanese investors have been putting in money in Vietnam’s textile sector since 1980. Vietnam is Taiwan's second largest export market in textile products. Taiwan’s exports of textile products to Vietnam in 2013 accounted for 16 per cent of Taiwan’s textile exports. TTF has appealed to Vietnam’s government to value the bilateral trade relationship established for ages. It has requested Vietnam to help Taiwanese companies defend their safety and property.
The Taiwan Textile Federation, established in 1975, provides a versatile range of services, including market promotion, industrial development, information, and help with the improvement of design capability et al.
