It was from the Kingdom of the Netherlands that Suriname gained independence. The country was allowed self government in 1954. But it wasn't until November 25, 1975 that independence officially was granted.
The last country in the Americas to gain independence was Suriname, which achieved independence from the Netherlands on November 25, 1975.

Suriname, in South America.
The Netherlands helped its former colony to gain independence. In 1973 Netherlands' Prime Minister Joop den Uyl [August 9, 1919-December 24, 1987] began working with Suriname's Governor Johan Ferrier [May 12, 1910-January 4, 2010] and Prime Minister Henck Arron [April 25, 1936-December 4, 2000] to bring about independence. The law authorizing independence was enacted in the Netherlands in October 1975. Suriname's political Constitution declaring the country a republic [Republiek Suriname] was unanimously approved by Suriname's National Assembly [De Nationale Assemblee, DNA] on November 19, 1975. Suriname officially became independent on November 25, 1975.

No, Suriname has no Declaration of Independence. In 1973 Netherlands' Prime Minister Joop den Uyl [August 9, 1919-December 24, 1987] began working with Suriname's Prime Minister Henck Arron [April 25, 1936-December 4, 2000] to bring about independence. The law authorizing independence was enacted in the Netherlands in October 1975. Suriname's political Constitution declaring the country a republic [Republiek Suriname] was unanimously approved by Suriname's National Assembly [De Nationale Assemblee, DNA] on November 19, 1975.
The Netherlands has been an important source of support for Suriname, its former colony. The two countries continue to have strong ties. With independence, around one-third of Suriname's population chose to immigrate to the Netherlands and become citizens. Even though embracing the Netherlands as their new home country, many of these expatriate Surinamese maintain close ties with Suriname.
