RAPAPORT... Botswana's public sector officials and De Beers are touring
the U.S. seeking investments in the African nation's strategic industries,
including mining, as part of a celebration to mark 50 years of independence.
Officials from the Botswana Development Corporation and the
country’s Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources are part of the
joint visit that started with a symposium in New York on June 1. That was
followed by a meeting in San Francisco on June 7. The representatives have
another meeting planned in Chicago on June 9 to promote Botswana as an
investment destination.
De Beers said Botswana is consistently rated as the least
corrupt country in Africa by Transparency International.
“The successful relocation
of our international sales operation from London to Gaborone [in 2013] is
testament to the ease of doing business in Botswana,” said Gareth Mostyn, the executive
head of strategy and corporate affairs at De Beers.
