Thailand and India have mutually agreed for bilateral trade in gems and jewellery and might form a separate entity to promote the same. Thailand would be displaying its jewellery range of gem-studded jewellery at the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) this year.

The potential is sighted in India, as although diamonds continues to be increasing in consumer purchases, the coloured gemstones are also being sought out for by the elite fashion conscious.

The Thai delegation would also undertake roadshows in Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur and Chennai.
