GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Feb 11, CMC – The Guyana government has objected to the presentation of a map displayed recently at an international business conference in Suriname that it said “inaccurately included the New River Triangle as part of the Republic of Suriname”.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said the map was included in a publication that was distributed by the Surinamese hosts to attendees at the conference.
“The Ministry wishes to state that the presence of representatives of the Government of Guyana at the Conference in no way signifies the condoning by the Government of Guyana of the use of a map that incorrectly represents the territory of Guyana.
“The Government of Guyana was not consulted about the map prior to its distribution. Had it been consulted, it would have strongly objected.”
The ministry said for “the record, said the internationally recognized map of Guyana confirms that the New River Triangle is part of the sovereign territory of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
