The Guyana-Suriname Co-operation Council is to be resuscitated following a lightning visit here yesterday by Paramaribo’s President Desi Bouterse.
The council, whose work will be supported by a special envoy operating between the two capitals, will have as its main responsibility the implementation of agreements reached.
A one-day engagement between Presidents David Granger and Bouterse saw the two heads of state agree that technical officials from Guyana and Suriname will meet to discuss issues in relation to the protection of the environment, agricultural trade, tourism and investment as well as cross-border activities, through their respective committees.
