We are pleased to share highlights of the DG visit to Commewijne, a place which is rich in cultural and historical places.
The visit started with a tour of Fort Nieuw Amsterdam, a colonial-era fortification that stands as a testament to Suriname's intricate past. The DG was immersed in the historical significance of the fort, gaining a deep understanding of its role in safeguarding the colony during various periods.
Following the fort tour we proceeded to Plantage Wederzorg, a former coffee plantation that provides a glimpse into the region's agricultural heritage.
After the tour we took a moment to savor the culinary delights of Berkat, a special meal showcased the diverse and flavorful cuisine of Suriname, providing an opportunity for informal discussions in a relaxed setting.
