This issue was discussed with the new president of Alrosa Sergeem Ivanovym, who "understands that if companies come to Russia for them is necessary to create favorable conditions for the purchase of stones," Trutnev told reporters, who is also the representative of the Russian President in the Far East.
"What this will lead to ALROSA sales policies in some changes It will not happen instantly?." - Trutnev said.
ALROSA opened "Eurasian Diamond Center» (EDC) in Vladivostok, which in September 2016 was granted the status of a free port, in the framework of policies to strengthen market presence in the Asia-Pacific region and the increase in diamond production volumes in Russia.
EDC was the first resident Indian KGK Group, which, according to representatives of the Corporation's development of the Far East, is ready to invest about 500 million rubles in the cutting and polishing factory in Primorye. It is expected that the plant will be established within four years, and the production capacity will reach at least 15 million carats. KGK, one of the largest customers of the company ALROSA on a long term basis, operates directly and through two subsidiaries, registered in Yakutia: DDK LLC and SD Diamonds LLC.
KGK, according to market participants, ALROSA may ask some of the favorable conditions for the purchase of rough diamonds, although the provisions of Alrosa Alliance, the association of long-term clients of the company, ensure equal access to raw materials for all of its participants. ALROSA also held talks with other customers for the construction of cutting and polishing enterprises in Primorye, but details were not disclosed.
Trutnev said that KGK has brought to the country the equipment for the new plant. "There is a complex personnel training scheme first in the enterprise will be a lot of them (KGK) workers, but they will teach (Russian personnel) and to change the proportion of employment in our favor." - he said.

The authorities of Sierra Leone have rejected an offer to purchase 706-carat diamond, mined in March in the southern region of the country Kono (Kono), for $ 7.8 million. The government said that this price is too low for a stone.
Diamond was found Emmanuel Christian pastor Momohom, who passed it to the authorities for sales organizations.
Reuters has reported that in the framework of closed trades only five buyers have made preliminary offers to buy a diamond in the range of $ 2 million to $ 7.8 million.
"We have decided today not to sell the diamond, as the highest selling price ... did not meet the government pre-stone evaluation" - said Sahr Vandey (Sahr Wonday), chief auctioneer and head of the National agency for Sierra Leone minerals.
Now the African country's authorities intend to hold a diamond auction in Antwerp or Tel Aviv.
A prospector who discovered the stone said that he was happy to wait for a new auction.
"I am not satisfied with the highest of the proposed prices, (stone) worth more than $ 7.8 million", - he added.
Some sources claimed that Momoh hopes to sell the diamond for $ 50 million.
