The WGM Chair invited the team leaders concerned of recent Review Visits and Missions to
Lebanon, Canada, Switzerland, USA, Singapore, Vietnam and Côte d'Ivoire to inform the KP

7. Country-specific issues
a) Côte d'Ivoire
Referring to UNSC Resolution 2153 (2014) (29 April) lifting the embargo on the export of rough
diamonds from Côte d’Ivoire, the WGM Chair thanked all WGM members and other Participants
involved for the support provided to the Ivoirian KP authorities in achieving KP compliance and
developing and implementing their transition strategy towards the lifting of the embargo.
The WGM Chair noted that as part of the normal proceedings the Ivoirian KP authorities
would be invited to make a presentation at the Inter-sessional on their implementation of
the recommendations from the recent Review Mission report (October 2013), and that as a
next step and in line with the Johannesburg Plenary conclusions the WGM would start
looking into the planning of a follow-up Review Visit (possibly in December).
b) Central African Republic (CAR)
Referring to UNSC Resolution 2129 (2014) (10 April), the WGM Chair noted that the unstable
security situation in CAR would not allow for a Review Mission in the short- to medium term.
The WGM Chair indicated that the WGM, WGS and WGDE would continue their monitoring
activities, but would need a stronger mandate for working with Participants in the region to help
ensuring that rough diamonds from CAR cannot be introduced into the legitimate trade.
CAR made a short statement, which it would circulate to WGM members in writing. Following
some further interventions in support of a stronger mandate for working with Participants in the
region, it was agreed that the WGM Chair would prepare a draft-AD or Resolution to be submitted
for discussion at the upcoming Inter-sessional (9-12 June).
8. West Africa: Regional Approach
The WGM Chair reported that it had asked the KP Chair to reserve some time in the overall Inter-
sessional programme for a Plenary-level presentation and discussion on the "Regional Approach to
KPCS implementation in West-Africa".
9. Fraudulent Certificates and suspicious shipments
The WGM Chair emphasised again the importance of uploading information on fake certificates and
suspicious shipments on the KP website as to rapidly raise awareness among all Participants.

upcoming Inter-sessional taking place in Shanghai, China, on 9-12 June.
