WFDB’s EC meets
Next
Executive Committee in
Tel
Aviv in June: WFDB
Annual
Asian Summit held!
The
World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) has held its annual Asian
Summit-Executive Committee (EC) meeting where it conducted discussions on a
range of issues of importance to the global industry. Hosted by the Hong Kong
Diamond Bourse (Diamond Federation of Hong Kong), the meeting took place a day
before the opening of the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show
which is followed by the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show.
"The
Asian Summit is critical in giving our Presidents across the region the ability
to meet relatively easily and provide their input during our talks on the
subjects that are at the top of the industry's agenda," said WFDB
President Ernie Blom.
"As
far as Asia is concerned, we had representatives attending from the diamond
exchanges in Japan, Bangkok, China, India, Dubai, Hong Kong and South Korea. In
addition, I was able to welcome Executive Committee Presidents from a range of
countries.
I would like to thank them all for taking the time to attend, and
also express our gratitude to the Hong Kong Diamond Bourse for hosting us. With
the international diamond and jewellery shows about to start, this was not the
easiest time to arrange the Asian Summit, but it was done with great style.
"We
had important discussions related to, among other subjects, the World Diamond
Council's System of Warranties, the Know Your Customer initiative and
Blockchain. The Executive Committee gave its backing to the WFDB's Young
Diamantaires project, which is run by Promotion Committee Chair Rami Baron,
which aims to share positive stories about diamonds via social media.
"The
next Executive Committee will take place in Tel Aviv in June, while the
biennial Presidents Meeting of the WFDB and International Diamond Manufacturers
Association will be hosted by the Dubai Diamond Exchange in September ahead of
the Dubai Diamond Conference," Blom added.
