Second Zimbabwe Diamond Conference taking place this week

The Zimbabwe Diamond Conference is taking place in Harare on November 6 and 7, with ‘Completing Zimbabwe's diamond potential for the future’ as the central theme. Participants include African mining ministers, diamond mining companies, and world leading diamond manufacturers and traders. Ari Epstein, CEO of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, will be delivering a speech to the numerous key stakeholders in attendance.

“Zimbabwe has always been, and still is a key trading partner for the Antwerp diamond industry,” says Epstein. “I would like to congratulate Zimbabwe for holding its first local tender, based on the Antwerp Tender System. The government’s initiative to start holding its own diamond auctions is most certainly a positive step towards continuing to build a strong and robust future for the Zimbabwean diamond industry.”

AWDC’s presence at the conference demonstrates it will continue cooperating with Zimbabwe so as to secure mutually beneficial rewards, based on full transparency.
