This project aims to connect the economies of South America through bridges, roads, energy, and telecommunications.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that the bridge will bring benefits to the entire region, including an increase in trade, tourism, and investment between Suriname and Guyana. Ramdin explained that the choice of the bridge&#8217;s builder is yet to be made and that talks are ongoing with both Chinese and European companies.<\/p>\n<p>President Chan Santokhi of Suriname and President Irfaan Ali of Guyana are scheduled to decide who will carry out the project soon.
