This gesture of our eastern neighbour augurs well for good relations
DEAR EDITOR,
We are so pleased to learn that our eastern Dutch-speaking South American country of Suriname says it stands ready to share its knowledge in oil and gas with us, its English-speaking neighbour Guyana, where preparations for oil production is underway.
This benign gesture, we learnt, was made by newly-accredited Surinamese Ambassador to Guyana, Ebu Jones, when he presented his letters of credence to Guyanese President, David Granger, on Wednesday in Georgetown.
Ambassador Jones, we learnt also, offered Suriname’s forty years of experience in oil and gas knowledge-sharing with us in Guyana.
The Republic of Suriname with forty years of experience in the oil and gas industry is willing to share this knowledge with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and, if necessary, to support the further development thereof, the ambassador also offered.
We are also pleased that our President indicated that Guyana looks forward to working with Suriname on wide-ranging areas of cooperation, including oil and gas production.
This gesture of our eastern neighbour augurs well for good neighbourly relations and maybe far better than what the United Nations body had long laboured for.
Yours,
Rooplall Dudhnath
