VI Premier congratulates Suriname on 48th independence anniversary
Suriname gained complete independence from the Netherlands on November 25, 1975.
‘May our bonds of friendship become even stronger’- Premier
Dr Wheatley in his message to the people of the Republic of Suriname said the Government and people of the [British] Virgin Islands is grateful for the strong bonds of friendship that exist with the Government and people of the Republic of Suriname.
“I had the opportunity to visit Suriname when they hosted the Caricom Heads of Government meeting in 2022, and the hospitality, cultural richness, and physical beauty a witnessed was awe-inspiring. I wish the Republic of Suriname a hearty congratulations on their 48th year of independence, and may our bonds of friendship become even stronger!" Dr Wheatley said.
Among the many other leaders extending congratulations to Suriname was CARICOM Secretary-General Dr Carla N. Barnett, who said the milestone in the nation’s history marks the triumph of self-determination and freedom, as evidenced by the remarkable progress made by the Republic of Suriname since achieving independence.
“The national commitment to the tenets of Justice, Faith, and Loyalty, and the unwavering spirit of resilience and dedication have provided a solid foundation for progress towards securing a prosperous future,” Dr Barnett said in her congratulatory message to the President of Suriname His Excellency Chandrikapersad Santokhi.
Meanwhile, the VI remains a Territory of Britain, which has threatened to suspend its constitution if it does not implement reforms as recommended by the lone commissioner of a Commission of Inquiry sponsored by the United Kingdom (UK) during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UK has also been accused of not honouring its obligations under the UN Charter to help the Virgin Islands along the path to self-determination.

How is that Rubber Duck?
Of all the challenges we are facing in the BVI does 48th independence of the people of Suriname a higher priority to you more than the unborn babies in the womb of expected mother, some unemployed, some low paid, some nearly making ends meet, some mentally stressing, and other discombobulated.
Remember, Hon. Premier Natalio Sujande Wheatley, the main responsibility of a leader is and foremost to defend the defenseless, lift up the fallen, and strengthen the weak in this world is uneven competition without disregarding the needful contribution of the financial strong in this world of chaotic diversities of languages, cultures, and ethnicity.
Defend the youths
In the Country of Brasil, South America, I read that there a many homeless youths that made up the population of the country. Due to uneven political leaders and other problems the hundreds of thousands of homeless youths unattended for have caused greater spikes in serious crimes. I read, though unable to confirm so, that from time to time the political leaders would approve for soldiers to rid the cities, particular the Capital City, of street youths. The read that the method being used is a shoot-to-kill method. After that their carcass are loaded in trucks, then droved far in mountainous areas, and dumped.
The BVI hasn't, and hopefully will never end think of such atrocious behaviors, but must bear in mind that the future is unknown by all humans. A good present helps molds a good future. Help save the youths, without disregarding the poor, and elderly people of the BVI.
Thank you, though, for the information of the 48th Anniversary of the political Independence of people of Suriname. I am happy for them. I share in their political freedom, if they treat all there citizens, the foreigners, and neighbors as they should.
The present path of Israel war is untenable and can lead only to continuous conflict.
