Suriname’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade, and Cooperation, Melvin Bouva, recently highlighted the country’s potential as a lucrative investment hub during his address at the International Business Conference in Guyana. Representing President Jennifer Simons, Bouva emphasized the significance of the event as a platform that unites policymakers, international investors, financial institutions, entrepreneurs, and development partners. He underscored the historical and cultural ties between Suriname and Guyana, as well as their shared commitment to achieving sustainable prosperity, energy security, and inclusive economic growth. While acknowledging the rapid expansion of the oil and gas sector, Bouva stressed that it is only one component of a broader national strategy focused on economic diversification, innovation, and responsible partnerships. Suriname is actively targeting sectors such as agribusiness, sustainable energy, logistics, tourism, the digital economy, and regional trade. Bouva invited investors to utilize the Suriname Investment and Trade Agency as a central hub for exploring business opportunities, receiving guidance, and fostering collaboration. “Suriname is open to partnerships that prioritize mutual benefit, sustainable growth, and long-term impact,” he stated. The Surinamese delegation also included Andrew Baasaron, Minister of Economic Affairs, Entrepreneurship, and Technological Innovation, further reinforcing the country’s commitment to fostering international business relationships.
