Africa-Press – Angola. The president of the World Diamond Council, Feriel Zerouki, praised on Wednesday in Luanda the reforms that have been introduced in Angola’s mining sector, contributing to greater transparency, deeper governance, and openness to responsible investment.
Speaking at the opening of the Angola International Mining Conference (AIMC 2025), which is taking place on October 22 an 23 in Luanda, Zerouk said that these reforms are consolidating Angola’s position as one of the most dynamic and visionary African nations in the extractive field, as well as creating a world-class industry.
She praised Angola’s clarity and conviction regarding the value of natural diamonds, a commitment that was reinforced by producing countries in the Luanda Agreement, an international pact signed in June this year.
The vice president for Trade and Industry at De Beers said that since the signing of the memorandum of understanding in 2024, the partnership with the Angolan government has made significant progress in terms of production increase, supporting semi-industrial mining, and promoting socioeconomic opportunities.
This collaboration is unlocking geological potential while building confidence in the sector, promoting more jobs, skills, and shared prosperity, according to the official.
