Myanmar attends jewellery show

About 40 leading gem and jewellery entrepreneurs from Myanmar will participate in Sri Lanka's leading annual gem and jewellery Show - FACETS, which will be held in Sri Lanka from September 2 to 5. All arrangements were finalized with regard to their participation at the Show, during the visit of Vice Chairman, Promotion and Trade Fairs Juzar Adamaly and the Sri Lanka Gem and Jewellery Traders' Association Director Akram Mansoor who were in Myanmar recently, to attract more gem and jewellery traders to the national pavilion of Myanmar at the FACETS.

This year the FACETS Sri Lanka is organizing its 20th gem and jewellery show where gem and jewellery entrepreneurs from Thailand, India, Hong Kong and Myanmar participate annually, apart from the participation of a large number of local traders. The Sri Lanka Embassy in Myanmar coordinated with the officials of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) based in Yangon as well as Mandalay, together with Myanmar Gems and Jewllery Entrepreneurs Association, enabling the visiting FACETS officials to meet prospective Myanmar gem and jewellery entrepreneurs.

The meetings were attended by a large number of entrepreneurs in gem and jewellery trade and all their enquiries and problems were addressed by the FACETS, UMFCCI and Sri Lanka Embassy officials.

A considerable increase in the number of participants from Myanmar is observed at the show each year.
