Suriname follows Guyana in parading petro credentials

Suriname President Chandrika Santokhi

Suriname’s preparation to introduce the international community to a country empowered by its new-found status as a hitherto relatively little-known South American republic now empowered by the prospects that inhere in significant oil wealth, continues to take shape under the administration of that country’s president, Chandrika Santokhi.

Earlier this month Santokhi announced that the country was preparing to receive trade missions from fellow Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries, Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados following what Santokhi said was the country’s successful participation in the World Expo Dubai, between October 1, 2021 and March 31 this year.
