President Irfaan Ali has assured that his government has not given up on acquiring the 150 SC fishing licences for Guyanese fishermen, which were promised in 2021 following an agreement between Suriname and Guyana.
Ali stressed that his government has expressed great concern over the Suriname’s failure to approve the licences.
Speaking at a press conference last Thursday, President Ali stated, “We have not given up on this. As a matter of fact we have expressed deep concern, deep concern at the non-approval of these licences or the failure of Suriname to grant these licences.”
