The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) on Tuesday urged the government to establish Gems and Jewelry Authority at the earliest.
Addressing the the meeting of the Standing Committee of RCCI on Gems and Jewelry, President RCCI Nadeem Rauf said that it was essential to early establish the Gems Authority so that exports of non-conventional sectors like Gems and Jewelry could be enhanced.
He said that the draft of the Act for the Authority had already been approved by the Federal cabinet, adding that the Chamber had always taken effective steps to bring the non-conventional sectors to the fore.
Nadeem said that RCCI successfully organized Gems and Jewelry Exhibitions in 2018 and 2019 and informed him that the third Gems Jewelry and Fashion Expo would be held in May this year. Chairman Prime Minister’s Task Force on Gems and Jewellery Engineer Gul Asghar Khan, who attended the meeting as a special guest, said that the setting up of the Gems Authority would be implemented soon to develop the gems and jewellery sector.
