Surinamese optics store, Optiek Ninon yesterday opened its first overseas branch on Camp Street.
The opening coincided with the state visit to Guyana by Surinamese President Chandrikapersad Santokhi and his foreign minister Albert Ramdin was present at the ceremony.
A release from the company said that the late Ninon Brunings founded Optiek Ninon and opened her first store in Suriname in 1971. Fifty years later, the first overseas branch has been commissioned in Georgetown, the latest of a series of Surinamese businesses that have set up here in recent years.
