Closer Economic Ties with Surinam

Curaçao’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Steven Martina, strongly favors creating closer economic ties with Surinam in South America, which he feels would create a win-win situation for both partners. Earlier this year an economic mission consisting of a group of Surinamese entrepreneurs came to visit Curaçao to explore potential areas in which economic cooperation could be achieved. In reciprocation, during the second week of October, a delegation of entrepreneurs from Curaçao that are professionals in the fields of financial services, information technology and marketing activities, will participate in a congress entitled, ‘Doing Business in/with Curaçao’ to be held at the Courtyard Marriott in Surinam’s capital Paramaribo.
