For reference: Thailand is a regional center for the export and import of leather and leather products for the countries of Southeast Asia. It is also the largest training address for designers in this field. APLF is considered an important communication platform in promoting its brand and developing international cooperation. Enterprises of the leather industry of Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, import leather worth more than 3-4 billion dollars a year. Therefore, establishing cooperation in this direction means opening a new export market for Uzbekistan.
