March 25, 2019: Executive Chairman of Malaysian Gem Corporation Datuk Ahmed Hasham on Monday said that his company would soon invest fifty million dollars in Pakistan to promote the gemstone business.

In an interview on PTV, he said that his company would sign Memorandum of Understandings with the provincial governments.

"Secondly we would try to establish gemstone cutting and polishing centers in Islamabad," he added.

He said the company would set up a think tank to launch local stones of Pakistan on an international level as Pakistani stones were of the best quality, adding the Pakistani stone carvers could compete any lapidary in the world, he added.

He further praised the stance of Prime Minister Imran Khan for providing the safe and corruption free zone to the gem investors.
