Indian Ambassador to Zimbabwe Runsung Masakui (Rungsung Masakui) called on the authorities of the southern African countries create a center of diamond cutting in partnership with other countries.
This, according to him, is the only way to benefit from the added value of the precious stones of Zimbabwe.
"Structural defects affecting the mining and processing of precious stones in Zimbabwe, due to the fact that has not yet established a center for their cutting in the country", - quotes Masakui edition of Newsday.
"In this light, it is crucial for Zimbabwe to cooperate with friendly countries, to create a center for the processing of precious stones, as well as proceed with the innovative marketing of lesser-known gems", - the ambassador added.
He said that the establishment of diamond cutting enterprises in India, made it a world leader in this area, the processing of at least 60% of the world's diamonds.
Chidakva Walter (Walter Chidhakwa), Minister of Zimbabwe mining industry, recently said in an interview to Rough & Polished, the state of the diamond beneficiation in the country is "not very good".
Now, when diamond production fell strongly, Harare can not be supplied by 10% in Zimbabwe [mined diamonds], which they need.
"We also have not been able to supply that company with which we have concluded an agreement on the required amount of diamonds for the education of our students," - the minister added.
"Our students continue their studies, using the diamonds coming from other countries, which is not desirable, because we prepare them to work with the Zimbabwean diamonds, but we hope that we can move forward," - he continues.
Diamond mining in Marange was falling since the beginning of last year, due to the forced consolidation of mining companies.
ZCDC in 2016 was able to produce about 900,000 carats of diamonds against a peak performance of 12 million carats per year.
