Bilateral T&T, Suriname talks signal likely close energy ties

Trinidad and Tobago Energy Minister Stuart Young

Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname are on the verge of forging closer bilateral energy ties, based on reports arising out of discussions between the Surinamese President Chandrikapersaud Santokhi and Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Minister Stuart Young in Paramaribo earlier this week, according to a report emanating from Port of Spain.

 The two reportedly held exchanges on the sidelines of Suriname’s Second Energy, Oil and Gas Conference (SEOGAS) which concluded earlier this week as Suriname prepares to join its neighbor, Guyana as a world class oil producer.
