Wade-Smith, now De Beers’ senior vice president of government affairs, aims to establish additional entry points in key diamond-producing countries like Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Canada. This move seeks to enhance diamond source verification while mitigating the impact of the Russian diamond import ban imposed by G7 and EU nations.
