From the 26th to the 28th of this month, Luanda will host Expo Catoca, a space for reflection and sharing experiences, with a view to highlighting the most relevant milestones in the history of the Angolan mining company, as part of the celebrations of its 30 years of existence, under the slogan ‘Here, where diamonds meet the community’.

The information was released on Wednesday by the chairman of the management board and general director of the fourth largest open-pit mine, Benedito Paulo Manuel, during the press conference to officially announce the event, which is expected to bring together companies and experts from the national and international diamond industry.

Benedito Manuel assured, on that occasion, that the technical and logistical conditions for this purpose have been created, and presented the objectives of the activity, which essentially involve stimulating partnerships between the public and private sectors and civil society, promoting dialogue on innovation, corporate governance, sustainability and social responsibility, as well as the company’s strategic vision for the next nine years.

The organisers of Expo Catoca revealed that the event has a budget of around half a million US dollars.
