Qatar Diamond Exchange Links Up with Three Asian Bourses

The Qatar Diamond Exchange (QDE) has strengthened Doha’s ambitions in the international diamond trade by signing agreements with three major Asian bourses, creating new channels for cooperation, trading opportunities and closer commercial ties across some of the industry’s most important markets.

The memoranda of understanding were signed with the Diamond Exchange of Singapore, Shanghai Diamond Exchange and Tokyo Diamond Exchange during the 41st World Diamond Congress in Singapore. In a significant development for Qatar’s growing jewellery sector, this Qatar Jewellery News report highlights how the agreements could position Doha as a stronger link between Asian trading centers and the wider global diamond and gemstone industry.

New Bridges Across Asian Markets

QDE director Ghanim Nasser Al Saadi formalized the agreements with Diamond Exchange of Singapore president Fabio Cascapera, Shanghai Diamond Exchange president Lin Qiang and Tokyo Diamond Exchange president Michio Iwasaki.

The partnerships establish a framework through which members can develop business relationships and identify new areas of cooperation. They are also expected to encourage bilateral visits and reciprocal participation in industry events, tenders, auctions, viewings and other activities hosted by the exchanges.

Confidence and Responsible Trading

Beyond expanding commercial opportunities, the initiative places considerable emphasis on consumer confidence in natural diamonds and colored gemstones. Cooperation will promote adherence to recognized industry standards and initiatives, including those supported by the Responsible Jewellery Council and the World Diamond Council’s System of Warranties.

Al Saadi said the partnerships reinforce Doha’s potential to become a trusted gateway connecting Asian diamond markets with international trade, supported by transparency and responsible business practices.

Doha Builds Its Diamond Ambitions

The agreements give QDE valuable relationships across three influential Asian markets while strengthening Qatar’s credentials as an emerging diamond-trading center. If the partnerships generate sustained participation in auctions, tenders and industry events, Doha could increasingly become an important meeting point linking Asian suppliers, international traders and gemstone buyers.
