The interim president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, signed several economic cooperation agreements with the president of Suriname, Jennifer Geerlings-Simons, during her official visit to the country.

These agreements focus on key sectors for the two nation’s development, such as hydrocarbons, air connectivity, agriculture and fishing, as well as education, science, and technology.

According to Rodríguez, speaking on Friday, September 11, these are “economic and commercial cooperation agreements to solidify our bilateral relations.” These agreements are of great importance, and Venezuela anticipates being able to share its expertise in oil and gas exploration and production, as well as provide training to Suriname’s industry.

Furthermore, the interim president of Venezuela announced “the finalization of an agreement that will facilitate closer ties between the two nations through direct commercial flights and the granting of the so-called fifth freedom of the air, which authorizes airlines to transport passengers, cargo, and mail.”

In the agricultural sector, the agreements will seek to strengthen food production for food security, as well as harmonize bilateral regulations. Regarding fishing, the bilateral agreement “will allow Venezuelan fishermen to obtain licenses to fish in Surinamese waters.”
