REUTERS/Yuri GripasMARRAKECH, Morocco -Suriname received a counter to its proposal to China regarding bilateral debt negotiations, Suriname's Foreign Affairs Minister said on Saturday, adding that he will travel to Beijing in early November to continue talks.
"There has been some progress on dealing with debt accumulation in 2024, but we would also like to have clarity on payments after 2024 so those will again be addressed in another proposal," Ramdin said. "For us it's very important that that agreement is built in comparable terms," Rodrigo Valdes, head of the fund's Western Hemisphere Department told Reuters on Friday.
Ramdin said Saturday that Suriname wants to"make sure China understands the importance of finalizing this, including politically."
