RAPAPORT... The chair of the Kimberley Process (KP) Ahmed Bin Sulayem
met Robert Mugabe to understand the Zimbabwe president’s views on the organization
and the country’s future in the diamond industry.
Bin Sulayem’s visit to Zimbabwe was part of a tour of
African states. He also visited the diamond fields of Chiadzwa in the country’s
Marange mining region.
Zimbabwe was readmitted to the KP in 2011, after being suspended in 2009.
“We wanted to experience how the rough diamond industry
of Zimbabwe was developing and what challenges it might be facing today,” Bin
Sulayem said. “On meeting with President Mugabe, we heard his views about the
Kimberley Process and how it was imperative for his country’s diamond industry to
continue working closely with the KP, as Zimbabwe looks towards a sustainable
future in rough diamond production and export."
