Dubai: The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), under the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, and the Thai Trade Center Dubai Office recently concluded the "Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair Gala Night: The World's Leading Gems & Jewelry Destination" in Dubai. The event aimed to strengthen trade alliances and promote Thailand's international trade.
Industry leaders and potential private sector participants gathered to engage in business negotiations and deepen business relationships. Notable attendees included Sorayut Chasombat, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the UAE; Nipa Nirannoot, Consul-General of Thailand to Dubai; Phusit Ratanakul Sereroengrit, Director-General of DITP; and Sumed Prasongpongchai, Director of the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand, among others.
The UAE is a significant trade gateway and center for the region's gems and jewelry trade, similar to Thailand's role in the industry. In 2023, the trade in gems and jewelry between Thailand and the Middle East exceeded $500 million, with the UAE being Thailand's top trading partner in the region. Thailand exported gems and jewelry worth $265.37 million to the UAE, accounting for 50.3% of its total exports to the Middle East. Conversely, Thailand imported gems and jewelry valued at $252.09 million from the UAE, making up 51.02% of its total imports from the region.
The shared significance of the gems and jewelry sector presents a unique opportunity for both countries to forge a strategic partnership. The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) is inviting UAE businesses to participate in the 70th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair, to be held from September 9-13, 2024, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC).
