Dr Orlic: Strengthening Friendly Relations between Serbia and Suriname Is a Permanent Commitment

"Strengthening friendly relations between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Suriname, as well as the improvement of overall relations, is our permanent commitment and a state policy we pursue at all levels," said National Assembly Speaker Dr Vladimir Orlic in a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of the Republic of Suriname Albert Ramdin.

In the course of the meeting, he pointed out that the Republic of Suriname is a country of special importance for Serbia and thanked Minister Ramdin for his country's decision to withdraw the recognition of so-called independent Kosovo. Dr Orlic stressed that this was of great importance for Serbia, because the Republic of Suriname became an important example for a number of other countries that followed suit.

"I would like to thank you for respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, for being not only on the side of Serbia, but on the side of the UN Charter, on the side of international law and justice, and on the side of peace," concluded Dr Orlic.

He informed the guest about the difficult situation in Kosovo-Metohija, the great personal involvement of the President of the Republic of Serbia and the daily efforts invested into preserving stability and peace. The National Assembly Speaker also thanked Suriname for supporting Serbia in international organisations when needed, as well as for its support for our candidacy for the EXPO 2027 host country.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of the Republic of Suriname Albert Ramdin reaffirmed that his country's position is solely one of support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Serbia, as well as its support in international organisations. From that perspective, Suriname is interested in improving and expanding overall bilateral cooperation with Serbia.

The officials agreed that there is room to improve cooperation in the field of economy and business, as well as in agriculture, science, education, information and communication technologies, transport and other spheres. In the conversation, the officials paid special attention to the improvement of parliamentary cooperation, especially the cooperation between the working bodies and parliamentary friendship groups, both expressing the expectation that Suriname will participate in the EXPO 2027 event in Belgrade.

The meeting of the National Assembly Speaker and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of the Republic of Suriname was also attended by the Head of the Parliamentary Friendship Group with Suriname Ugljesa Markovic.
