Alrosa President to be guest of honor at IDWI

Alrosa President Andrey Zharkov will be a guest of honor of the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI). The event is slated between February 13 – 16, 2017 at the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE). His visit is timed to coincide with the opening of the IDE International Tender Center, which will house tenders of rough and polished diamonds by major rough producers and diamond traders.

While in Israel, Zharkov will meet with the leaders of IDE to discuss the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding which was signed last year to promote cooperation between the two organizations in a variety of areas. Zharkov will also address a group of leading IDE firms where he will present Alrosa’s vision for the next several years and the challenges facing the global diamond industry.

IDE President Yoram Dvash said that he welcomes the visit of President Zharkov at the International Diamond Week. “Alrosa is a very significant player in the type of diamonds that the Israeli industry focuses on. Over the past several years Alrosa has supplied a growing quantity of such stones to the Israeli market, and we aim to expand this trade.”

Alrosa President and CEO Andrey Zharkov said, “I am happy to attend the International Diamond Week in Israel. This will be an excellent opportunity to discuss issues of mutual interest with the bourse leaders and with potential and existing clients, as well as to present Alrosa’s plans in response to the current and future challenges we face.”

The sixth edition of the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) is expected to attract hundreds of rough and polished buyers from around the world. This year’s IDWI will be held in a new format to include a day for scheduled meetings or free sightseeing tours. As in past years participants are offered three nights of free hotel accommodations.
