India hosts Kimberley Process Intersessional Meeting 2026 in Mumbai

India has commenced the Kimberley Process (KP) Intersessional Meeting 2026 in Mumbai under its Chairship, bringing together global representatives, observers, and industry stakeholders to discuss key issues related to the international trade of natural diamonds.

The four-day meeting, being held from May 11 to May 14, 2026, focuses on strengthening transparency, compliance, and trust within the global diamond value chain.

Addressing the gathering, Suchindra Misra highlighted the Kimberley Process’ role in promoting peace, protecting livelihoods, and supporting legitimate diamond trade across producing nations. He stressed the importance of enhancing cooperation among participants and ensuring that the certification framework remains effective amid evolving global challenges.

Discussions during the intersessional meeting will cover implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), monitoring and compliance mechanisms, artisanal and alluvial diamond production, and measures aimed at strengthening consumer confidence in ethically sourced natural diamonds.

Senior officials from the Department of Commerce, members of the World Diamond Council, civil society groups, and international stakeholders are participating in the deliberations.

India’s Chairship theme for 2026 revolves around the “3Cs” — credibility, compliance, and consumer confidence — with a focus on responsible sourcing and sustainability in the natural diamond sector.

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, established under the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 55/56 in 2000, aims to prevent conflict diamonds from entering the legitimate global diamond trade. The Kimberley Process currently includes 60 participants representing 86 countries, with the European Union participating as a single bloc.

India assumed the Chairship of the Kimberley Process on January 1, 2026, reinforcing its role as one of the world’s leading centres for diamond cutting and polishing and its commitment to ethical and transparent diamond trade practices.
