The two-day meeting will bring together representatives of more than 100 Chinese companies and 15 selected Indian colored gemstones suppliers, mostly from Jaipur, at Panyu in Guangzhou.
“China is one of India’s foremost trading partners, with gem and jewelry exports from India to China recording an impressive figure of $91.04 million during the period [of] January-November 2014,” said GJEPC chairman Vipul Shah.
Shah added that the previous two editions of the show, which were held in Jaipur, had been very successful. “Through this meet, we look forward to consolidating our trade relations with China, develop close synergy and increase direct exports of gemstones to the country.”
“It is a unique opportunity for a cross section of select gemstones suppliers from India under one roof – an opportunity that may not have been possible if the Chinese traders had come in their individual capacities to transact business. We hope this will go a long way in forging trade relations and see stronger business alliances established at this forum,” added Rajiv Jain, regional chairman of the Indo China Colored Gemstones BSM.
