May 05, 11(IDEX Online News) - The 2013 Presidents' Meeting of the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA) will take place in Toronto, Canada, IDMA President Moti Ganz announced Thursday.
According to Ganz, IDMA's Presidents' Meeting in Gaborone, Botswana, in March demonstrated the advantages of holding the biennial Presidents' Meeting in a diamond producing country. "Diamond manufacturers need to have a full understanding of where the diamonds they purchase and process are mined," Ganz explained.
"The Diamond Bourse of Canada, launched in 2010, established the last missing link of the diamond pipeline in Canada,” said Bhushan Vora, president of the Canadian Diamond Manufacturers Association (CDMA). “Canada now encompasses all the industry segments from exploration to a thriving consumer market.”
