The government controlled Herald, reported that attempts by Western countries to discourage trade in Zimbabwean diamonds at the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme Intercessional Plenary which starts in Angola today are expected to fail.

Western countries are allegedly plotting to sneak in a controversial report which accuses Zimbabwe of money laundering and indirectly funding terrorism by selling local diamonds in the United Arab Emirates at the 13th KPCS Intercessional Plenary which kicks off in Luanda today and will run until Saturday.

The controversial report, which was partially discussed at the KPCS in China last year, is expected to feature during the Seminar on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.
