evidence: During an National Assembly (AN) session, Parmessar criticized the government of Suriname for not taking measures against Guyana for Guyana’s actions in the Tigri area, a disputed area between the two countries. [...] The Tigri region has been in dispute since 1840. This territory is delimited by the Boven-Courantyne and the Coeroeni and Kutari rivers. Guyana refers to it as the New River Triangle. [...] Since 1969, the Tigri area has been controlled by Guyana. In 1971, both governments agreed that they would continue talks on the border issue and would withdraw their military forces from the disputed triangle. However, Guyana has never acceded to this agreement.
