…private sector says action undermines good neighborliness, business confidence

For the second time within two years, the Guyanese Government is condemning the use of a map depicting the New River Triangle in Guyana’s territory as part of Suriname, a practice that is being seen by the local private sector as the Dutch-speaking nation’s continued disrespect of Guyana’s sovereignty.

During the opening ceremony of the Suriname Energy, Oil and Gas Summit (SEOGS) 2026 held in Paramaribo on Tuesday, a map was used depicting the New River Triangle in Guyana as part of Suriname’s territory.
