PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Sept. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Suriname today announced the successful execution of the first ever Trade & Investment Forum held in Miami, which was a great venue for the dialogue as the city is the gateway to the Americas and the Caribbean.
