The Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Thailand attended the Opening Ceremony of the Chanthaburi International Gemstone Market Exhibition 2026, held in Chanthaburi, one of Thailand’s renowned centres for gemstone trading, cutting and processing.
    
The exhibition aimed to further promote Chanthaburi as an international hub for the gemstone and jewellery trade while providing a platform to strengthen trade relations, expand business networks and facilitate commercial partnerships between Thailand and international participants.

The participation of the Embassy of Sri Lanka reflected Sri Lanka’s strong interest in further developing cooperation with Thailand in the gem and jewellery sector, an important area of Sri Lanka’s export and investment potential. Sri Lanka is internationally recognised for its high-quality natural gemstones, particularly Ceylon Sapphires, as well as its established gem cutting, jewellery manufacturing and trading industry.

During the event, the Ambassador engaged with representatives from the Thai and international gemstone and jewellery sectors and explored opportunities to strengthen business linkages between Sri Lankan and Thai companies.

The Embassy of Sri Lanka looks forward to facilitating stronger private-sector connections between the two countries and promoting Sri Lanka as a reliable source of high-quality gemstones and jewellery in the international market.

The participation further contributes to the Embassy’s ongoing efforts to promote Sri Lanka-Thailand trade and investment relations and identify new opportunities for Sri Lankan businesses in the Thai market.
