The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on Sunday said that a recent agreement between George-town and Paramaribo for Guyanese fishermen pertains to Suriname’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and not the Corentyne River as was stated in the Sunday Stabroek editorial of August 29 entitled `Fishing licences’.
“The Ministry wishes to state that the 150 licences are to permit Guyanese to fish in Suriname’s exclusive economic zone – that is off of its coast – and not for fishing in the Corentyne River.
