"We welcome the opportunity given to our members to take part in this unique diamond marketing platform," said HKJMA President Lau.
A delegation of diamond buyers organized by the Hong Kong Jewellers Manufacturers’ Association (HKJMA) and led by the association's Chairman, Adam Lau, will be attending the winter edition of the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI), to be held on the IDE trading floor from February 14 to 18, 2016.
"Hong Kong's jewelry manufacturing business community has a long-standing relationship with Israel's diamond industry and our members regularly trade with a myriad of Israel Diamond Exchange members, who are active in Hong Kong and exhibit at the various international trade shows held in Hong Kong," Lau added.
The HKJMA President said he is aware of the distinct opportunities offered to visiting buyers on the exchange floor itself.
"It is my understanding that by visiting IDE members on their own home turf we will also be networking with many smaller manufacturers and traders who produce high-quality diamonds but usually do not travel to Asia. This, I believe, will create additional good networking and buying prospects for our delegation's members."
IDE President Yoram Dvash greeted the announcement of Lau's and his delegation arrival enthusiastically.
"Adam Lau is a long-time friend of our industry and of Israel. I commend him for his efforts in bringing a sizable delegation of Hong Kong diamond buyers to our exchange and congratulate him on his initiative to open up new horizons to his membership," Dvash stated.
"Hong Kong is one of the most diverse and multifaceted diamond markets. While the Israel diamond trade's position in Hong Kong is robust, I am confident that with the delegation's visit we will be strengthening our successful and fruitful business relationship even further."
