India to Chair Kimberley Process in 2026

India will lead the Kimberley Process, a group that makes sure diamonds aren't used to fund wars, starting in January 2026.

This is important because India is a big player in the diamond industry.

The group has 60 members and covers almost all of the world's diamond trade.

India will focus on making sure diamonds are sourced responsibly and that the trade is transparent.

They will also work on digital ways to track diamonds and build trust with consumers.

This is the third time India has led the group, showing that other countries trust India to do a good job.

Some people support India's leadership, while others think more needs to be done to address the root causes of conflict diamonds.
