Russian diamond expert visits Bots

Representatives of the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources of Botswana, the President’s Administration, Okavango Diamond Company and De Beers were present at the event. Botswana is interested in adopting the experience of a company, such as Kristall, with more than half a century’s history in the field of diamond processing.

For Botswana, it is a new area of activities, but the policy of processing the country’s own natural resources, directed at the support and engagement of investors, is just bearing fruit. Shkadov said, “Kristall is interested in widening the cooperation and is ready to share its expertise and technologies, arrange personnel training, deliver equipment and organize its service maintenance in Botswana.”
