Commenting on the holding of the conference, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman, DMCC, said: “2015 will be an interesting year for the global diamond trade and at DMCC we are honored to host and bring together our valued trading partners from across the globe. The global diamond industry has been going through a historic transformation over the last couple of years with the center of gravity shifting from West to East.”
Dubai has quickly emerged as a vital link in the global transport and distribution system thanks to the leadership and vision of this tiny emirate at the center of the Middle-East. The Dubai Multi Commodities Center since its inception in the year 2002 has successfully established Dubai as a global gateway for the commodities trade by implementing a series of measures such as building and enhancing the emirate’s physical and financial infrastructure, introducing regulatory standards and providing products and services, including the launch of the Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) and the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCE). Dubai today has become one of the World’s leading diamond trading centers.
