Suriname Map Error Sparks Guyanese Boycott

Guyana’s top business groups are demanding an apology from Suriname after the country wrongly claimed the New River Triangle — a territory legally recognized as Guyanese since 1936 — on a map at its Energy, Oil and Gas Summit 2026. This isn’t an isolated incident; similar map errors appeared at Suriname’s International Business Conference just weeks earlier, alongside ongoing disputes over fees for Guyanese vessels on the Corentyne River. The private sector says these repeated border disrespect incidents have eroded trust and are forcing them to boycott future Surinamese events until Suriname publicly acknowledges and corrects the mistake — and guarantees it won’t happen again. While Guyana remains open to economic cooperation, it insists Suriname must first demonstrate respect for internationally recognized borders.
