Guyana’s Private Sector Commission (PSC) and Suriname’s Trade and Industry Association (VSB) have announced a plan to set up a Guyana-Suriname Private Sector Business Council to strengthen economic ties and create a single market and economy between the two neighbouring countries.

The announcement was made via a joint PSC and VSB statement yesterday, following the conclusion of the state visit by Suriname President Chandrikapersad Santokhi.

In the statement, the two private sector bodies noted that they have been witness to the dynamic cooperation between the leaders of Suriname and Guyana relative to the many significant steps taken towards the development of a joint market and strategic business partnerships.
