RAPAPORT... The World
Diamond Council (WDC) will hold its next annual general meeting in New York in
September.
The event will run from
September 7 to 9 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the WDC announced. Issues to be
discussed include the current agenda of the Kimberley
Process (KP) and the implementation of the WDC’s first-ever strategic
plan. Delegates will also talk about the WDC’s planned
new communications platform aimed at positioning the
group as the industry's voice to respond to issues related to the KP and
conflict diamonds.
The meeting will also
focus on the upcoming KP plenary meeting taking place later this year in Dubai.
The AGM will be hosted
by the newly formed United States Jewelry Council (USJC), the body that brings
together the views and actions of the U.S. jewelry trade associations regarding
responsible and sustainable sourcing.
The sessions will
start on the afternoon of September 7 with the first of two
WDC board of directors meetings. Maurice Tempelsman, chairman of
the board of Lazare Kaplan International, will deliver the keynote
address on September 8, joined by a number of high profile speakers from the
diamond industry and government.
