Antwerp World Diamond Centre to Host Groundbreaking Diamond Conference
October 04, 2007


    ANTWERP, Belgium, Oct. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The
Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) will host a landmark
conference to discuss the future of the diamond industry on
October 15-16. In particular, it will examine the changes
that are likely as a result of the increasing power of
producer countries.

    The conference, "Producers in Transition: the
Changing Industry Dynamic," will take place at the
Flanders Congress & Concert Centre in Antwerp, Belgium.
It will address the major issues facing the diamond
industry: whether the shift in power towards diamond
producing countries will continue, and what impact this
will have on mining companies, diamond cutting and
polishing, diamond trading centres, diamond banking, and
retailing. The conference has been designed to hear the
view of all stakeholders at first hand.

    The conference will be addressed among others by Deputy
Prime Minister of Angola Aguinaldo Jaime; South African
Minister of Minerals and Energy Buyelwa Sonjica; Nobel
Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz; Kimberley
Process chairman Karel Kovanda; Sergey Vybornov, President
of Alrosa; Gareth Penny, Managing Director of De Beers, and
many other leading figures. The conference will also involve
the leading mining companies and representatives of all
other major producing countries.

    The keynote speech at the conference gala dinner will
be given by development campaigner Bob Geldof. The gala
dinner will be graced with the presence of guests of honor
H.R.H. Princess Mathilde of Belgium and H.E. Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf, the president of Liberia who was elected
in 2005 and is Africa's first elected female head of
state.

    Sir Geldof follows in the footsteps of the major
international figures who have been guest speakers at the
gala dinner of the three previous Antwerp Diamond
Conferences: former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former
U.S. Vice President Al Gore, and South African President
Thabo Mbeki, who in 2004 used the occasion to announce the
imminent launch his government's beneficiation programme.  
 

    This forum will be an invaluable opportunity for all
players in the diamond industry to gain insight and engage
in the future of their industry. The Antwerp World Diamond
Centre has taken the lead to bring together such a diverse
group of stakeholders from around the world to directly
discuss the most important issue facing this industry.
