Botswana officials leave for key KP meeting

The Acting Deputy Director of Mineral Affairs, a Senior Minerals Officer and a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official, will join representatives from 75 other Kimberley Process countries at the meeting.

A founding and integral member of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), Botswana sits on the Statistics, Diamond Experts, Participation Committee, the Rules and Procedure Committee and the Selection Committee's working groups. The Zimbabwe agenda item, while largely a matter for the Monitoring working group, is expected to involve all other working groups due to the myriad of issues involved.
