My country also carries immense natural wealth and it is our vision to create an economy that is resilient, sustainable and inclusive. Together we strive to build this more diverse economy by developing, among others, our tourism and agricultural sectors, strengthen our educational system and work towards universal access to basic health care. Suriname has a vast tourism potential with its green and lustrous interland, many waterfalls, rapids and great rivers for relaxation as well as for unforgettable adventures, if you're inclined to that. Rich biodiversity, cultural treasures and the UNESCO-acknowledged historical city of Paramaribo. Through cooperation in the agriculture sector with our neighbours, we aim at improving food security within Suriname and the Caribbean community. My government views energy security as a strategic priority for national development, regional stability and economic resilience. With an investment of more than 10 billion US dollars for the development of our offshore oil and gas, the country is getting a new beginning, a new start that will contribute significantly to our economic growth.
