Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (TGJTA) and Shanghai Gems & Jade Exchange (CSGJE) teamed up to launch China-Thailand Gemstone Traders Association, or CTGA to boost jewellery trade and exchange between China and Thailand.
President of TGJTA, Suttipong Damrongsakul and managing director of CSGJE Fanny Wong signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 9 May 2017 during Jewelry Shanghai.
In the context of China's Belt and Road Initiative, the confederation will build a bridge of exchange, communication and trade cooperation in the gems and jade market of both countries.
“The China-Thailand Gemstone Traders Association or CTGA will be holding activities for members such as buyer missions and booth exchanges while facilitating trade between the two countries,” said Suttipong. “Moreover, the CTGA will be collaborating with other associations in countries like Russia and Cambodia to increase trade in the region.”
During the same trip to Shanghai, the delegation from TGJTA visited the Shanghai Gems & Jade Exchange and brought 16 exhibitors from Thailand to showcase at Jewelry Shanghai 2017 tradeshow. Also, the association met with representatives from the Shanghai Gold & Jewelry Association to discuss future collaborations and exchanges. On May 10 2017 Suttipong Damrongsakul was invited as a keynote speaker during Shanghai Global Jewelry Summit (Spring 2017).
