Brazil, Guyana and Suriname to take first steps towards energy alliance – Reuters

Jan 20 (Reuters) - The heads of state of Brazil, Guyana and Suriname this week will take the first steps toward forging an infrastructure that would better share the neighboring South American countries' energy and natural resources.

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro is expected to arrive in Suriname on Thursday, and will travel on Friday with the head of Suriname to Guyana, where the three chiefs plan to discuss projects including new roads, bridges and energy projects that could reshape the region's economy.

The visit is Bolsonaro's first official trip to Guyana and Suriname, and a recognition of the three countries' shared oil and gas bonanza.
