Ministerial meeting

This morning we had a meeting with Gregory Rusland, Minister of Natural Resources, to discuss the possibilities for Indian mining companies in Suriname. Through our Indian partners we have been approached by one of the largest Indian mining companies to see what the opportunities are for mining bauxite. The meeting was arranged by our current client, who has strong political connections, although we had already met Mr Rusland a couple of years ago when he was dean of the university. The meeting went well, we were able to present ourselves and the Minister gave us some useful information to pass on the our Indian friends. For this occasion we went in full business outfit (dark pin striped suits and tie), which can be quite uncomfortable in the humid tropical climate!
