The event, to be held from 26 June to 3 July, is expected to
attract more than 500 gem overseas traders, a spokesman for Myanmar
Gems Enterprise said.
“The aim is to develop the Myanmar gems market and to
earn foreign currency”, said U San Lwin, a deputy director
at MGE, the organiser of the emporium.
Lots at the emporium will be on sale in euros, U San Lwin said.
The emporium becomes the third international gems and jade event
to be held annually in Myanmar after the annual emporium every
March, which began in 1964, and the mid-year emporium in October,
which was inaugurated in 1992.
