No, Suriname isn't on the continent of Africa. It's on the South American continent. But descendants of West African slaves make up a significant portion of Suriname's ethnically diverse population.

No, Suriname isn't a Caribbean country. Suriname is located in northeastern South America on the Atlantic Ocean. But as a former Dutch colony, Suriname has many cultural ties to islands that were colonized by the Dutch in the Caribbean Sea. Suriname belongs to the Association of Caribbean States. The ACS emphasizes the Caribbean region to promote cooperation in natural disasters, tourism, trade, and transport. Suriname also belongs to the economic organization Caribbean Community [CARICOM].
