A number of Suriname’s key international partners have expressed support for democracy in that country in the wake of protests last month that saw the storming of the parliament building in Paramaribo.
A statement from the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Guyana and Suriname said that international partners, including the EU, represented by Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS), Helena König, as well as the Netherlands, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Poland, all represented by their respective Ambassadors (or their deputies) met yesterday with the President of Suriname, Chandrikapersad Santokhi, and members of the Surinamese government in Paramaribo.
