De Beers Group today announced that its CEO Al Cook will attend the Angola Ministerial Round Table on the promotion of natural diamonds, to be held in Luanda on 18 June 2025.
The Round Table will bring together key stakeholders in the diamond industry to discuss the most effective approaches for promoting natural diamonds through category marketing.
The Angola Ministerial Roundtable will be hosted by Angola’s Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas (MIREMPET).
It will bring together Ministers responsible for the Mineral Resource Sector from major African diamond-producing countries, namely Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Cook said: “We are proud of the beauty of diamonds and the benefits they bring to producing nations, but it’s vital that we inspire consumers with the wonder of these natural miracles. I commend the Angolan Government for taking the initiative to establish this event so that key stakeholders in the diamond industry can come together.
“I’m looking forward to joining leaders of diamond producing countries and businesses in Luanda so that we can align on a successful shared approach for promoting natural diamonds.”
