Today's diamond trade is truly international and the conference roster was indicative of the increasing role the East is playing within the industry. During the two days, we heard from the leaders of 19 diamond companies and financiers representing companies across the globe, ranging from Antwerp to Zimbabwe.
"The public sector has an equally important role to play in ensuring a thriving diamond trade in the future. We heard from Ministers of Mines, the Kimberly Process, Ambassadors and Dubai's Assistant Foreign Minister for International Organisations, all of whom expressed their commitment towards facilitating cooperation along the New Silk Route. It was an honour to host such a diverse and insightful gathering that reflects Dubai's pivotal role in the New Silk Route."
