Alex Jospitre, the Consulate General of the Republic of Haiti in Suriname commemorated earlier this week the "International Day of Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition" with Surinamese Officials.

The Consul Alex Jospitre accompanied by Vice Consul Rosario Alexandre and the Consular Agent Christian Petit-Frère hailed the memory of our heroes in his remarks for the circumstances on the Square Kwakoe, while stressing the impact of this revolution throughout the world.

While recalling that the struggle must continue against the new forms of slavery today, the Consul took the opportunity to praise the work of Iwan Winjngaarde, President of the African Federation, to whom he handed a gift on behalf of the Consulate General of Haiti in appreciation.

With Ambassador Henk Herrenberg, representative of the President of the Republic of Suriname and Iwan Winjngaarde, the Consul Jospitre accompanied by his colleagues, respectfully laid wreaths of flowers at the foot of the Kwakoe statue and reiterated the continued support of the Consulate to the African Federation of Suriname.
