The Hainan free trade port (FTP) will benefit not only the Chinese mainland but the Asia Pacific region and beyond, the chief executive of a leading diamond producer said on Friday.

"Hainan in our business strategy is something that we are considering very, very seriously for the future," Nancy Liu, CEO of De Beers Forevermark, a subsidiary of De Beers Group, which is the world's largest diamond producer by value, told CGTN at the first China International Consumer Products Expo in Hainan's capital city Haikou. Liu sees a huge opportunity in Hainan as more consumers who buy diamonds on shore are expected to visit the island in the future.
