I am profoundly grateful for your unwavering support for the Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers' Association. I am humbled and honored to be re-elected as the Chairwoman for the new term (2023-2025), which I acknowledge comes with great responsibility and formidable challenges.

Over the past three years, the Association and our members have jointly confronted the pandemic and economic shocks, and we have successfully organized the 'JMA Hong Kong International Jewelry Show'. This not only demonstrated the resilience and vitality of the Hong Kong jewelry industry and our Association, but also affirmed our commitment to providing a stable business platform for our members and the local jewelry industry. I sincerely appreciate everyone's tireless efforts and dedication!

Currently, we face a world of constant shifts in global economics and politics. The rise of emerging markets and the rapid development of synthetic diamond technology prompt us to consider how to position ourselves in this volatile market landscape, and to build mutually beneficial relationships with these nascent markets. It's undoubtedly a time filled with both challenges and opportunities.

Therefore, we are committed to actively exploring emerging technologies and market trends. Digital marketing, in particular, has become a crucial element in reshaping the jewelry industry, revolutionizing not only how we communicate brand narratives but also enabling us to better understand consumer needs and thus provide a more customized and convenient shopping experience. Furthermore, we see enormous potential in the use of artificial intelligence in jewelry design and manufacturing. Our goal is to assist our members in creating flexible and efficient business models, enabling them to rapidly respond to market changes and fully harness new technologies.

In addition to optimizing existing projects, we will devote more resources to the development of the 'J-Hub', promoting the inheritance of craftsmanship, nurturing innovative professionals, and injecting fresh vitality into Hong Kong's jewelry culture.

We will use the ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) principles as a guide to optimize the management system of the Association. By implementing environmental protection measures, enhancing social responsibility, and improving governance efficiency, we aim to align the operations of the Association with the principles of sustainable development while providing members with high quality services.

During the new term, we will continue to uphold principles of openness and cooperative partnership, strengthening exchanges and cooperation with jewelry organizations worldwide, jointly facing new challenges, and ushering in a new chapter for the Association.

Thank you all once again for your support!
