RAPAPORT... Ahmed bin Sulayem, executive
chairman of the Dubai Multi Commodities Center and chairman of the Kimberley
Process, received honorary membership of the World Jewelry Hub (WJH) in
Panama City.
Bin Sulayem, who was on a visit to Panama
as a guest of the WJH, was given the award by its chairman Eli Izhakoff,
according to a WJH statement February 8.
As part of the
visit, Bin Sulayem met with the leadership of the Panama Diamond Exchange and
discussed ways of increasing cooperation between the WJH and the Dubai Multi
Commodities Center. He also met with Panama's Minister of Commerce, Augusto
Arosemena, with whom he discussed developments in the Kimberley Process and how it
could be enhanced in Latin America.
"It is our
privilege to welcome Ahmed bin Sulayem, and to benefit from the perspective of
an industry leader who has played an essential role in the establishment of
DMCC, which is the UAE's largest and fastest growing free zone and home to more
than 11,000 companies," said Izhakoff.
"Over
the past 14 years, he and his team pioneered the development of a trading
center in Dubai, handling multiple precious metals and gemstones, diamonds and
jewelry. Their work has served both as a model and benchmark for what we are
doing in Panama."
