Botswana and De Beers are working out the “finer” details of a new diamond-sales pact and the southern African nation’s government is confident a deal will be struck, President Mokgweetsi Masisi said. An initial ten-year agreement governing terms for the sale of diamonds produced by Debswana Diamond Co — a joint venture between the two — and auctioned through the De Beers system lapsed in December 2020 and was extended to June 2022 due to the disruption from the pandemic. The two agreed last month to extend negotiations on new terms to June 2023.
