Reflecting on the achievement, the organization stated:
This honour stands as a tribute to the collective efforts of industry partners who continue to shape the future of the global diamond and jewellery sector.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem’s vision and strategic stewardship have not only bolstered Dubai’s standing in the precious metals and stones trade but have also reinforced the emirate’s role as a central nexus in the global value chain.
