RAWALPINDI: A threeday exhibition of gems, jewellery and fashion organised by the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) will be held during the third week of May in Islamabad.

The exhibition will be held from May 20 to 22 at a local hotel in Islamabad.

RCCI president Nadeem Rauf said in a statement that this exhibition will help in identifying key areas that hinder promotion of gemstone businesses. `No doubt, the gems sector is a hidden treasure of Pakistan, requires government patronage to take exports to new heights,` he said, adding that Pakistan has been blessed with varieties of precious gemstone deposits and ranked fifth among countries with the largest reservoirs mainly present in northwest of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and southeast of Balochistan.
