IDE, DDC to Hold Israel Week in NYC

(IDEX Online News) – The Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) and the Diamond Dealers Club of New York (DDC) have agreed to hold an "Israel Diamond Week" in New York in November.

The agreement to hold the "Israel Diamond Week" was reached in a meeting between IDE president Yair Sahar and DDC president Reuven Kaufman during the 35th World Diamond Congress that was held this week in Mumbai, India.

The goal of the event is for IDE and DDC members to network, buy and sell goods.

Sahar noted that this joint DDC-IDE initiative would help strengthen the ties between the two major diamond exchanges. "We hope this will be the first of many business opportunities that we offer to our members, and as such will help increase and improve the commercial and personal ties between IDE and DDC members."

"It's a great opportunity for our members, their salesmen and potential buyers to get access to the Israeli diamond market and to forge new business relationships with Israeli colleagues," Reuven Kaufman said.

IDE Members interested in taking part in the Israel Diamond Week should contact the office of the IDE managing director.
