Which country was admitted as an Observer Member of the African Diamond Producers' Association in November 2026?
- A.Botswana
- B.Sierra Leone
- C.Angola
- D.Ghana
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Botswana. It was taken in as an Observer Member of the African Diamond Producers' Association at the thirteenth Extraordinary Meeting of the ADPA Council of Ministers, held in Luanda alongside the body's twentieth anniversary celebrations. The Association itself was founded in Luanda on 4 November 2006, has fifteen effective member countries and eight observers, and its members account for more than sixty per cent of world diamond production. Of the observers only two are non-African, India and the Russian Federation. Option B is wrong because Sierra Leone is the current Chair of ADPA, represented by its Minister of Mines and Mineral Resources, Julius Daniel Mattai. Option C is wrong because Angola is the host country where the Association was founded and where the anniversary was marked. Option D is wrong because Ghana's role in the news is as Vice-Chair of the Kimberley Process. So option A is right.
