Also, delegations from three new diamond bourses, namely, They are the Diamond Dealers Club of Australia, the Istanbul Gold and Diamond Exchange and the Panama Diamond Exchange will be attending and have applied to join the WFDB. %% "This is quite remarkable," said Ernest Blom, the WFDB president. "In my memory, I cannot remember a congress where three new bourses formally applied to join the federation. And what is particularly exciting is that each of these bourses are located in markets that previously had not been represented”. %% The Congress traditionally is a gathering of diamond industry leaders, where the general assemblies of the WFDB and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA) gather. The Congress would also be taken to Antwerp, the headquarters of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses.
