The United States Government has categorically rejected reports in sections of the local media that it had asked Guyana to arrest Suriname’s President Desi Bouterse.
According to the local embassy, “The U.S. did not request Guyana to arrest President Bouterse last year.”
The Embassy stated that President Bouterse is the democratically-elected president of Suriname, and, “we respect the results of free and fair elections.”
It was further pointed out that the United States is looking to maintain good ties with Suriname.
President Bharrat Jagdeo recently declared that Guyana will not arrest Suriname’s Head of State Desi Bouterse whenever he visits the country.
The statement was in response to a question posed by an Officer of the Guyana Defence Force at the opening of the Annual Officers’ Conference at Army Headquarters, Camp Ayanganna.
The query was prompted by recent revelations that Bouterse had links to convicted Guyanese drug lord Shaheed Roger Khan and had clandestinely visited Guyana on several occasions for rendezvous with Khan.
Bouterse, who was convicted in absentia by the Netherlands for drug trafficking, was returned as President of Suriname last year following General Elections in the neighbouring Republic.
