Denmark is a beautiful small country in Europe, but its economy is diversified and mostly focuses on pig farming. It supplies the world with the best pork, it holds about 15% of the worlds pork meat. Like wise, Namibias economy needs to move away from a more services-based economy and specializes in manufacturing of the worlds best products based on its comparative advantages with great added-value products and services to further create a diversified industrial ecosystemic platform. In this case, Namibias diamonds are mined in Namibia and mostly cut, polished and traded in Europe. Yes, like most industries, the diamond industry is going through massive changes. And Namibia is well positioned since Africa produces more than 60% of the worlds rough diamonds. And DeBeers has shifted their almost all of their value added diamond production and trading from London to Botswana. This means that within the next few years, Botswana will become Africas center for diamond trading and value-added production. In Namibia, theres a great opportunity and our focus should be to turn Namibia into what Belgium has become; yes it took Belgium over 400 years to achieve its diamond cutting and polishing center status, which took Dubai only about 10 years to achieve. Its a known fact that Namibia produces the worlds best diamonds, and we want and we see a great opportunity for Namibia to become the worlds leading center for cutting and polishing rough diamonds. And Tses, as a newly developing city, its poised to become Africas leading venue for cutting and polishing rough diamonds for the worlds market. The worlds market is hungry for the best diamonds, produced under better conditions per KPCS. As we are developing Tses Glass in Tses, and as we develop the Village of Tses into a City status; for Tses to become the leading glass manufacturing center in Africa, we also seek for Tses to become the leading cutting and polishing center of rough diamonds, which will effect and bring great value-added and the worlds best diamond professionals to Tses.
