Angola's diamond industry is begun to illustrate positive symbols of recovery, according to the mines minister former times, even though a number of international companies drag out. Mankenda Ambroise, minister for geology and mining, told AFP the country was formulating approximately 70 million dollars a month, up from 25 million at the beginning of the year.

"We are starting to view positive signs," he said in Luanda. "This urgent situation will pass and the Angolan government has taken steps to protect not in favor of it."

The government has make an effort to shore up the industry by buying diamonds itself when international prices fall down production costs, and by assurance salaries of workers where mines have been for the short term closed to stop mass unemployment in some of the country's poorest regions.

The world's fifth-biggest diamond maker, Angola had expected production of 10.5 million carats for 2009, whereas this is possible to drop to approximately nine million, the minister said.

"Even with the crisis, production persists. The difficulty is with the commercialization, but our doors are open for upcoming buyers and we are calling on all those who have the currency and the ability to invest to do so," Ambroise said.

He added that companies that left Angola in the past year would not be welcome back.
In January Angola cancelled the World Diamond Summit, planned to be detained here this November, citing the global downturn as the reason.

Botswana declares yesterday it was divide production to 15 million carats due to dropping global stipulate.
