Alhamdulillah, in 2018 like previous year, Gold & Gems Art Promotion Council of Pakistan (GGAPCP) led a big delegation of over 60 members to the International Jewellery Show VOD Dubai 2018.

The exhibition held from November 14-17 in Sheikh Saeed Halls of the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) under the aegis of the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG)’s sister wing VOD.

Delegation as led by the honorable GGAPCP President Mr. Muhammad Ahmad and members were taken from across the country with major representation from Karachi. Members from Lahore and various cities of Central Punjab also showed keen interest in participation as buyers.

VOD Dubai Show Director Mr. Luca Veronesi and Mr. Ashish Sakhardande Marketing Manager VOD Dubai welcomed the delegation members at the exhibition and at fashion shows held during the four days event. Members were given full protocol and facilities including free of cost two night stay in one of the lavish hotels of Dubai, Marriott Al-Jaddaf which was just 15 minutes’ drive away from the exhibition.

A souvenir exchange ceremony was also held on second day of the exhibition in which GGAPCP President Mr. Muhammad Ahmad honored the Mr. Marco Carniello, Division Director Jewellery & Fashion, Italian Exhibition Group with a symbolic souvenir on behalf of the organisation. Presents were also presented to Mr. Luca Veronesi and Ashish Sakhardande.

GGAPCP Regional Chief Sindh, Muhammad Siddique also garlanded the hosts and presented souvenirs while reciprocating the gesture VOD officials also honoured the visitors with souvenirs.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Marco appreciated the efforts of the GGAPCP for bringing such a huge delegation of buyers after hectic efforts. He in response to a proposal assured full support to the GGAPCP for enabling it to participate in other events of the IEG held frequently in Italy and other countries of Europe.

While congratulating the hosts, Gold & Gems Art Promotion Council of Pakistan (GGAPCP) Mr. Muhammad Ahmad said that holding such an organized event and that too on large scale is really appreciable and whole VOD Dubai team deserves applauses for this.
He said that our members had shown keen interest in the Jewellery and packaging material presented in the exhibition.

Muhammad Ahmad announced that some of his delegates have vowed to participate in VOD Dubai 2019 as exhibitors and not to remain just buyers or spectators.

He said majority of Pakistani Jewellers are interested in capacity building, so they were either looking for buying machinery or technology transfer which was unfortunately not present in sufficient number at the 2018 exhibition. He proposed that the IEG should provide GGAPCP some support to enable its members participating and visiting those fairs where machinery and technology transfer deals could be done thus upgrading the Pakistani Jewellery sector.

It was also unanimously agreed that from next year, Goldsmith from Central Punjab should also be given preferential treatment as hosted buyers besides Jewellers from Karachi & Lahore.
