Mehta, chairman of the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), which organized the evening, in his address to the crowd of ministers, counsel generals, and trade attaches, said, “Over the years we have taken efforts to strengthen our existing ties with some countries and forged new relationships with the others. The council will continue its promotional efforts and would like to take these partnerships forward to be even more mutually beneficial.”
