They will be asked to discuss five statements and questions concerning local, national and international issues related to the diamond industry:

  • The Antwerp diamond square mile needs a makeover
  • The gold and jewelry shops around the station give the diamond square mile a bad reputation
  • Is the city of Antwerp making enough efforts to promote Antwerp as the most important diamond trading center worldwide?
  • Access to Belgian banks is essential for a Belgian industry
