 Botswana to open embassy in Moscow


Botswana plans to open an embassy in Moscow soon and has invited Russian investors to cooperate on rare earths and diamonds, Russia's TASS state news agency quoted Botswana's foreign minister as saying on Sunday.

Russia's Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest producer of palladium and high-grade nickel, settled its dispute with the government of Botswana and BCL Group in 2021 about a transaction for the sale of Nornickel's assets in Africa to BCL Group.
