Ninvalle met with Ngie Touw and team, which included Ms. Linsey Raijman, Mr. Wilfred Gallant (both members of the IGG comitee Suriname).
This follows on the heels of a promise made by President Dr. Irfaan Ali to have the Inter Guiana Games resuscitated.

Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana have over the years competed in Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field at the IGG with the addition recently of Chess and Badminton.
