PARAMARIBO, Suriname -- Suriname, the former Dutch Guiana, which has emerged from the shadow of its former colonial power the Netherlands since independence in 1975, and is today charting a very independent foreign policy that seeks stronger south-south cooperation in the light of the global economic shift, will host regional leaders on August 30 at the seventh summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).
