The Italian ambassador to Pakistan, Andreas Ferrarese, has announced that his country will establish a training institute in Gilgit Baltistan to promote the gems, jewellery, and gemstone industry.
During a meeting with Chairman of the Federation Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Qurban Ali, Andreas Ferrarese claimed that agreements will be completed in the coming days.
The step, according to the FPCCI chairman, will be a milestone moment in the development of the gems and jewellery industry in the United Kingdom, as well as contribute to the region’s aim of creating jobs.
He clarified that Hunza is the only other place in the world that produces blood-red rubies, that the picturesque Swat Valley produces some of the world’s finest emeralds, and that high-quality aquamarine can be found in Shigar, Chitral, Kaghan, and the Azad Kashmir Neelam Valley.
