The governments of Guyana and Suriname are working jointly to provide moral, financial and psychological support to the families affected by the recent pirate attack, Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan announced.
“Forms of assistance would be forthcoming…whatever form of assistance—moral, financial, psychological…even if they want to return to Guyana, we are going to assist,” the minister announced during a press conference with Guyanese and Surinamese journalists in Suriname yesterday.
The media briefing followed a high level meeting with Surinamese Minister of Police and Justice Stuart Getrouw, Minister of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Lekhram Soerdjan and Minister of Defence Ronni Benschop. The talks revolved around the investigation into the horrific attack and the missing fishermen.
