The Chief Executive of Forevermark and the De Beers Group, Stephen Lussier alluded to a simplification of the diamond value chain in his speech before the second International Diamond Conference, titled, Omugongo, held last week in Windhoek.
More than 50 international industry experts, academics, business leaders and manufacturers converged on Windhoek for this landmark two-day conference.
