Suriname and the United States have recently signed two important agreements to jointly intensify the fight against drug-related crime. The agreements, titled “International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement” and “Aerial Interception Assistance Agreement,” mark a new phase in cooperation between the two countries.
Minister Albert Ramdin of Foreign Affairs expressed his satisfaction with these steps and emphasized Suriname’s determination to effectively combat crime.
The United States will allocate $300,000 to Suriname to support programs and operations aimed at combating transnational crime. This amount stems from an existing agreement dating back to 2011. The cooperation also includes the sharing of crucial information, which is essential for a more efficient approach to drug-related crime.
Minister Kenneth Amoksi of Justice and Police announced that more financial resources are expected to become available next year for larger-scale operations. Despite capacity issues within the security services, significant progress has already been made in combating crime and drug trafficking.
Training provided by the United States has further enhanced the skills of the Surinamese police and other law enforcement agencies.
