On April 10th 2025 the First Secretary and the Ambassador had a meeting with a delegation of the Senate of the French Republic (senators Micheline Jacques and Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio and team) as preparation for their mission to Suriname between April 16-18 2025. The mission to Suriname aims to establish the facts on the ground, and, to subsequently use that outcome as a stepping stone for further economic(!), cultural, environmental and regional collaboration between Suriname and both European France and French Guiana. The engagement was contextual, illuminating, deepening, and theme-focused. Our exchange highlighted the excellent cooperation and information and vision sharing between the Embassy of Suriname in France and the Embassy of France in Suriname, as well as the issue of connectivity, data sharing, the importance of bridging the language gap, financial risk and compliance and establishing and facilitating more collaboration between Surinamese and French businesses.
We wish the delegation a fruitful mission to Suriname.
