The first China-Israel Diamond Week will be organized jointly by the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE), the Shanghai Diamond Exchange (SDE) and Guangdong Land Holding Ltd (GDLand) in Shenzhen from April 2 – 4, 2019, the IDE said in a release yesterday.

The event will include the China-Israel Diamond Forum, a day-long seminar, at which each of the organizers will have an opportunity to present its business advantages, and the leadership of each will be introduced. The forum will culminate with the signing of a memorandum of cooperation among all of the parties.

The event will also have a China-Israel Diamond Sales Meet, where Israeli exhibitors will present their goods to Chinese diamond buyers. Registration of Israeli diamond companies has already begun and the interest is very high. A large number of Chinese buyers are expected to attend, IDE said.

The programme will also incorporate special visits to diamond jewellery manufacturing facilities in the area as well as social and networking events.

IDE President Yoram Dvash said, “The China-Israel Diamond Week brings the close relationship between the Israel Diamond Exchange and the Shanghai Diamond Exchange to an even higher level. This is the IDE’s first solo exhibition in China. It is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure in this most important market and we are very excited.”
