The world's largest diamond group De Beers, despite competition with Russia's Alrosa, is increasingly committed to cooperation with Russia, President Vladimir Putin said during the Russia-Africa summit. He noted that Moscow welcomes this cooperation. "Alrosa and De Beers are about the same, two leading companies in the world in diamond mining. De Beers is like a competitor, the main one, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it wants to cooperate with us more and more, because they are creating problems for them in the Western world, trying to improve relations with Russia, with our society. We are in favor, we just welcome this cooperation." RBC channel at max.
