The 89th International Woolen Textile Congress opened on May 20 in Brussels. Affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, this conference was held in the form of a network remote meeting, and the duration of the meeting was shortened. During this year’s conference, it will mainly discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wool industry, continue to focus on the sustainable development of the industry, vote on the revision of relevant industry standards and rules, and release a new version of the “Guide for the Welfare of Sheep Animals”. This meeting is held in the form of a combination of teleconference and video playback. IWTO members can participate in the meeting through join.me software or watch the content of the speech through Facebook.
