Suriname’s Foreign Minister Albert Ramdin yesterday said he had summoned the Ambassador of Guyana, Virjanand Depoo to protest plans by the government in Georgetown to build an airstrip in what he described as the Tigri Area but what is recognized internationally as the New River Triangle in this country.
Reuters last night said that Ramdin also complained that a school is to be built in the area.
Ramdin asserted that the planned developments violate agreements made in 1970.
