Suriname gained its independence from the Netherlands on November 25, 1975. The process leading to Suriname's independence involved several key events and negotiations. Suriname was a Dutch colony for nearly three centuries, with the Dutch establishing control in the 17th century. By the mid-20th century, there was a growing global movement toward decolonization, and many colonies sought independence from their colonial rulers.  In the years leading up to independence, Suriname experienced the emergence of various political parties and movements advocating for self-determination and independence. The key political parties during this period were the National Party of Suriname (Nationale Partij Suriname, or NPS), led by Henck Arron, and the Progressive Reform Party (Progressieve Surinaamse Volkspartij, or PSV), led by Jagernath Lachmon. In 1974, a Round Table Conference was held in The Hague, Netherlands, where representatives from the Dutch government, Surinamese political parties, and other stakeholders discussed the terms of Suriname's independence. This conference played a crucial role in shaping the future of the country.
At the Round Table Conference, an agreement was reached for Suriname to gain independence on November 25, 1975. The agreement stipulated that Suriname would become a sovereign nation while maintaining friendly relations with the Netherlands. Suriname agreed to take responsibility for its own governance, defense, and foreign affairs. In the months leading up to independence, a transitional government was established in Suriname to prepare for the handover of power. The Netherlands provided technical and financial assistance to facilitate the transition. On November 25, 1975, Suriname officially became an independent nation, with Paramaribo as its capital. The country's first president was Johan Ferrier, and Henck Arron became the first Prime Minister.
  It's worth noting that while Suriname gained political independence in 1975, it faced numerous challenges in the years that followed, including political instability, economic difficulties, and a military coup in 1980. These challenges have played a significant role in shaping Suriname's history and development since its independence.
