Kirit Bhansali, Vice Chairman of the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), further emphasised the deep-rooted connections between Qatar and other leading markets. “India and Qatar share a rich history, not just in culture but in trade. With over 750,000 Indians calling Qatar home, our nations are linked by deep values of cooperation and mutual respect. This relationship is reflected in the growing trade between our two countries, especially in the high-value jewellery sector.”

Reflecting on the conference’s success, Alex Popov, Chair of the Organising Committee, reinforced Qatar’s growing significance in the industry. “This conference has demonstrated that Qatar is not just participating in the global diamond, coloured gemstone, and pearl trade—it is actively shaping its future. The level of engagement, the quality of discussions, and the vision shared here set a new benchmark for collaboration in our industry.”
