Botswana has signed agreements with Oman to collaborate on mineral exploration, oil storage infrastructure, and renewable energy, including a 500-megawatt solar power facility. President Duma Boko secured these deals during his three-day official visit to Oman, aiming to diversify Botswana’s economy and strengthen bilateral ties. The mineral exploration agreement targets an uncharted region covering over 70% of Botswana’s land, as the country looks to expand beyond diamond trading. Botswana faces significant challenges in the diamond sector due to oversupply and falling global demand, which has reduced revenues from its primary export.
