"In the discussion of fair trade and beneficiation in Africa, often to the fore put forward the argument that African diamond producing countries are not getting a fair share of the value of the diamond. After all, 65% of the diamonds produced in the world are in Africa. In an increasingly globalized world, where the key is a responsible business, you should make an effort to to find ways to improve the environment and enhance the benefits to African nations. One of the ideas in order to promote the beneficiation and maximize the value of African diamond producing countries of their natural resources, is to increase awareness and knowledge on the assessment and the cost of stones "- explains Bin Sulayem.
"Chairman of the Kimberley Process in 2016 would start the study of this complex issue, gathering a" round table "of experts and comparing the possibilities of developing common approaches to the valuation of diamonds both exporting and importing countries, recognizing the complementarity and the crucial role of the private sector. As it has been in the past and taking into account the OECD request, this session KP will be informal and will be open to all participants and observers of the KP. We would welcome the participation of all family members of the KP in this special forum chairman KP ", - concluded Bin Sulayem.
