FACETS 2011:

Good response from high profile buyers

FACETS 2011, organised by the Sri Lanka Gem and Jewellery Association (SLGJA) will be held from September 8-11 at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre for the 21st consecutive year.

SLGJA Secretary Ziqufi Ismail said, "High profile international buyers have confirmed their participation for this year's show. Online registrations have surpassed the previous year's ".

He said two Chinese delegations have confirmed participation for the event and there will be 19 members in both delegations. A Russian delegation with 16 members has also confirmed participation.

Of the 154 exhibition booths over 90 percent has been sold one month prior to the event, which shows the keen interest of exhibitors, he said.

Sri Lankan diplomats around the world assisted to promote FACETS internationally and the Export Development Board (EDB) facilitates trade delegations for the show.

FACETS 2011 is an ideal public-private partnership project, he said. With the economic boom and conducive environment in the country there is a huge response for this year's show, he said.

"Many Foreign buyers as well as buyer delegations from Russia, India and China have confirmed participation.

We are in the process of arranging all details of the delegations," SLGJA Vice Chairman (Promotion and Trade Fairs) Juzar Adamaly said. "We are also participating in shows in China, Russia, Singapore and India to promote FACETS. As we are one of the main source countries for fine gems we are very competitive. Even though FACETS is not a mega exhibition, buyers have confidence when buying from Sri Lanka," he said.

FACETS 2011 is sponsored and endorsed by the EDB and the National Gem and Jewellery Authority (NGJA). The Bank of Ceylon (BoC) is the official banker.
