Boko leads global rally for natural diamonds in Vegas

Boko, Minerals and Energy minister Bogolo Kenewendo, and leaders of other key organisations such as Debswana, the Okavango Diamond Company, and the Minerals Development Company of Botswana, are in the west American city for the biggest trade show of the diamond calendar.

The event, attended by more than 30,000 delegates stretching from producers, cutting and polishing firms to retailers, is being held as the natural diamonds industry struggles to shrug off a protracted slump stretching back to the third quarter of 2023.
