Commenting on the development, Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said, “GJEPC welcomes India’s selection of the Kimberley Process Chair role for the year 2026.

This will help India to strive for on making Kimberley Process a stable, inclusive, and effective framework that safeguards the long-term integrity of the global diamond industry.
