On 24 May ALROSA’s Vladimir Kalitin made a presentation of his company at the Keidanren (Japan’s Federation of Economic organizations) Center for Economic Co-operation in Tokyo in the framework of the Sakha official visit to Japan.
CEOs of Japan’s major industrial corporations and financial institutions had an opportunity to get better knowledge of ALROSA, its economic standing, special character of diamond mining in the Far North, major investment projects, including large-scale construction of the Udachny underground mine.
Later in the day negotiations with Mitsui & Co., one of Japan’s largest trading houses, and Marubeni Corp. took place. ALROSA has a long-lasting relationship with these companies, as they are suppliers of some of its mine transportation equipment.
Also ALROSA Vice President Yuri Dudenkov and other top-managers took a tour of the Seiko plant in Nagano to see diamond watch manufacture.
In the evening the ALROSA representatives attended a dinner given by the Russian Ambassador to mark the official visit of Sakha (Yakutia) to Japan.
