Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2020 and unveiled Thailand’s Magic Hands global campaign aimed at gaining international recognition for the Thai gems and jewelry industry. Social distancing norms were strictly followed for the event.

“India is known as one of the top players in international gems and jewelry business, from quality diamonds and colored stones to silver and gold jewelry.

Ms. Supatra Sawaengsri, Consul (Commercial) and Director, Thai Trade Centre, Mumbai, made a presentation on the 66th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair (BGJF) 2021 & Thai Silver Jewellery Seminar. She highlighted that in the previous BGJF, Indians were the no. 1 visitors attending the show and no. 2 in trade volume. Indian buyers who are interested in joining, should contact Thai Trade Center in Mumbai at thaitrademumbai@gmail.com registration and any other assistance.

The leading Indian delegates included Mr. Colin Shah, Chairman, The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC); Mr. Mehul Shah, Vice President – Bharat Diamond Bourse and Director Star Brillian; Mr. Saiyam Mehra, COA Member, All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC), Convener, GJS (GJC’s Gem & Jewellery Show); and Director Unique Chains; and Mr. Rajesh Bajaj, Chairman, HZ International.

SEEPZ Gems and Jewellery Manufacturers Association; 8. Surat Jewellery Manufacturers’ Association; and 9. Jewel Maker Welfare Association.

Mr. Mehul Shah, Vice President – Bharat Diamond Bourse and Director Star Brillian, said: “India’s Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited Thailand in November 2019 and celebrated the strong ties that bind India with Thailand and his government wants to bring them even closer by transforming India’s Northeast region into a gateway to Southeast Asia. With the support of the Thai government, DITP is aggressively pushing export activities to India, Japan, the United States and the Middle East. BGJF exhibition promotes and enhances trade between India and Thailand and builds up great B2B relationships between Indian and Thai business people.”

Mr. Saiyam Mehra, COA Member, All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council, Convener, GJS, said: “Silver, the ‘democratic’ metal, is well within everyone’s reach, is gaining ground across the globe because of two main drivers – it’s precious, yet affordable. India and Thailand have many similarities and commonalties in their gems and jewelry trade. Indian silver jewelry exporters, like their Thai counterparts, have a strong handcrafting orientation, design database supported by quality manufacturing operations mostly by MSMEs. India and Thailand can collaborate and explore synergies to enhance their global exports.”
