Government of Surinam requests Dutch Minister Apologizes


Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok recently called Surinam a failed state.  He attributed this to its ethnic diversity.  The government of Surinam has requested that Blok immediately recants his remarks and presents an apology to the people of the Surinam Republic.  This was stated in a declaration of the Surinam government. The Dutch diplomatic representative in Surinam was called in by the Surinam government on this issue.
