New Suriname Cabinet Plans Liberalizing Steps

An interim Government charged with repairing Suriname’s economy and restoring press freedom was sworn in today in Paramaribo, the Dutch news agency A.N.P. reported.

The Government was agreed upon Thursday by Lieut. Col. Desi Bouterse, the leftist leader of the former Dutch colony in South America, and by business and labor groups. The agreement followed weeks of strikes and protests.

The Cabinet led by Prime Minister Wim Edenhout is charged with creating ”durable democratic structures” and is to pave the way for a full cabinet in about six months, the agency said.
