(IDEX Online News) – Panama Diamond Exchange (PDE) president Mahesh Khelani will head a delegation of Latin American buyers from the PDE to take part in the upcoming International Diamond Week in Israel. Khemlani will be joined by Ali Pastorini, senior vice president of the PDE.

"We consider this a key event on the industry calendar, and one that can greatly contribute to the growth of the diamond and jewelry trades in Latin America," said Khemlani.

"PDE's mission is to function at the primary source of diamond supply in our region, and in that respect the International Diamond Week serves us perfectly. Its ability to concentrate a critical mass of both traders and merchandise provides our members with volume and variety that is virtually unmatched."

"For a young diamond exchange like PDE, the Israel Diamond Exchange serves both as role model and mentor," said Pastorini. "We are proud to be returning to Tel Aviv, now as an established sister bourse, and to be part of this buyer-focused event."

The International Diamond Week is scheduled to take place at the Israel Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan from February 14 to 18.
