Diamonds are Botswana's best friend

Botswana's diamond mine, the richest in the world, has brought prosperity and stability to the country. As Botswana aims to become a major diamond center comparable to Antwerp and Mumbai, it seeks to include itself in the global diamond processing industry. This move, while increasing costs, promises greater revenue. In partnership with De Beers, Botswana is setting up a large diamond production center, creating thousands of jobs. The initiative aims to boost local manufacturing and tourism, despite the challenge of high unemployment. The diamond industry holds the promise of a brighter future for Botswana.
