12:14, 12 April, 2013
YEREVAN, APRIL 12, ARMENPRESS: The World Jewelry Confederation (CIBJO)
is delighted to cooperate with Armenia, as for the jewelry industry
Armenia is in advantageous position in many respects. As reported by
Armenpress, quoting the website of Rapaport Group Company, this was
stated by the President of CIBJO Gaetano Cavalieri, who arrived in
Armenia to take part in the Inauguration Ceremony of the reelected
President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.
"In so many respects Armenia is in an advantageous position," Cavalieri
said. "Its geographic location and its peoples' long tradition in the
jewelry industry, both at home and in the very loyal Armenian Diaspora,
provide it with a tremendous start from which to build. Its government
is most supportive, agreeing to the establishment of a duty and tax
free zone for the jewelry sector, which not only has the potential to
serve as a magnet for the jewelry trades in other countries in the
region and around the world, but also will create thousands of jobs
at home and serve as valuable national resource for foreign income."
On Wednesday Cavalieri and the leadership of the Armenian Jewelers
Association had a private session with President Sargsyan, and they
were scheduled to meet with a range of senior officials, including
the governor of the Armenian Central Bank.
Gaetano Cavalieri, the president of CIBJO, the World Jewelry
Confederation, is visiting the Armenian capital of Yerevan this week,
where on Tuesday he was invited to attend the official inauguration
celebrations of President Serzh Sargsyan, who recently was elected
for a second term in office. During the visit, he has been holding
discussions with senior government and industry officials about plans
for the development of the Armenian jewelry sector.
This is Cavalieri's second visit in four months to Armenia, where
he has joined the leadership of the Armenian Jewelers Association,
led by the organization's president, Gagik Gevorkyan, in their
discussions with the government about the infrastructural, regulatory
and marketing strategies necessary to catapult Armenia to the status
of major jewelry center, with a special focus on Central and Eastern
Europe and the western flank of Asia.
"CIBJO is delighted to be involved in this mission," Cavalieri said.
"It underscores the commitment that we made when were recognized as
the international jewelry sector's representative in the Economic
and Social Council of the United Nations, and according to which
the industry will participate in the fulfillment of the Millennium
Development Goals. This is the essence of Corporate Social
Responsibility."
