GJEPC to Participate in Ministerial RoundTable on Natural Diamond Promotion in Angola

The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the apex body of the Indian gem and jewellery industry, will be participating in the Ministerial RoundTable on Natural Diamond Promotion, scheduled to take place on 18 June 2025 in Luanda, Angola.

India’s Representation at the Global Forum

Representing India at this prestigious global forum will be Mr. Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC, and Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC. Their presence underscores India’s continued commitment to supporting a resilient, transparent, and sustainable natural diamond industry.

Global Summit Convened by Angola

Organised by Angola’s Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas (MIREMPET), the high-level summit is bringing together ministers and senior representatives from leading diamond-producing nations including Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, along with key stakeholders across the global diamond value chain.

Chaired by Angola’s Mineral Resources Minister

The meeting will be chaired by the Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas, His Excellency Diamantino Azevedo.

RoundTable Agenda: Challenges and Collaborative Promotion

The RoundTable aims to address critical industry challenges and deliberate on the need for collaborative efforts to promote natural diamonds through generic marketing and shared narratives around their rarity, beauty, and socio-economic impact.

Key Outcome: The Luanda Agreement

One of the key outcomes of the summit will be the signing of the Luanda Agreement, a joint declaration reaffirming the commitment of governments and industry leaders to enhance the global positioning of natural diamonds and ensure their long-term positive impact on producer nations and communities.

India’s Role in Shaping Industry’s Future

GJEPC’s participation at this RoundTable reflects India’s integral role in the natural diamond pipeline and its dedication to engaging in global conversations that shape the future of the industry.

About The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC)

The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), set up by the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India (GoI) in 1966, is one of several Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) launched by the Indian Government, to boost the country’s export thrust, when India’s post-Independence economy began making forays in the international markets. Since 1998, the GJEPC has been granted autonomous status. The GJEPC is the apex body of the gems & jewellery industry and today represents 10700+ members in the sector. With headquarters in Mumbai, GJEPC has Regional Offices in New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Surat and Jaipur, all of which are major centres for the industry. It thus has a wide reach and is able to have a closer interaction with members to serve them in a direct and more meaningful manner. Over the past decades, GJEPC has emerged as one of the most active EPCs and has continuously strived to both expand its reach and depth in its promotional activities as well as widen and increase services to its members.
