Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd, on Saturday, led an official delegation to Suriname to further discuss advancing areas of cooperation through the Strategic Dialogue and Cooperation Platform (SCDP).

The delegation included Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill and Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha.

According to a press release from the Foreign Ministry, the Strategic Dialogue and Cooperation Platform was signed by the two Heads-of-State last November, during an official State visit to Suriname. Saturday’s working visit served to further streamline plans between the Government of Guyana and Suriname.
