The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was received with high honour at the Onafhankelijkheidsplein in Paramaribo as he joined an Extraordinary Session of the National Assembly of Suriname.

The historic gathering drew an array of distinguished leaders from across the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa.

In attendance were the President of Suriname, H.E. Jennifer Geerlings-Simons; the Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Dr. Ir. Michael A. Adhin; the Prime Minister of Guyana; the Prime Minister of the Netherlands; and the Secretary-General of Caribbean States.

Also present were former Surinamese Vice President and ABOP faction leader Ronnie Brunswijk, members of the National Assembly, members of the diplomatic corps, and other prominent dignitaries.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s presence marked a significant moment in Ghana–Suriname relations, reinforcing ongoing cultural, diplomatic, and economic exchanges between the two nations and their respective regions.

The Extraordinary Session forms part of a larger programme honouring the Asantehene’s official visit to Suriname.
