World Diamond Council lembra Mandela

O Conselho Mundial do Diamante emitiu um comunicado, em memória de Nelson Mandela:

The World Diamond Council acknowledges with sorrow the death of Nelson Mandela, and joins with the people of South Africa in mourning a great leader who became a model and shining example for people the world over.

Through his strength of character, personal example and unwavering commitment to justice, Nelson Mandela led his nation on a path of recovery, showing the world that peaceful reconciliation and the finding of common cause among diverse people are possible, even when the odds seem unsurmountable. He transformed a country and region that once stood on the brink of disaster into a symbol of hope and progress.

Like he did for so many individuals and communities around the globe, Nelson Mandela showed that we too have the capacity to bring about positive change for all our stakeholders, and that a commitment to peaceful coexistence and fair opportunity should be an integral part of our industry's mission.

He will be missed, but his legacy will last forever.
