President Droupadi Murmu became the first Indian to receive Suriname's highest civilian honour.

Suriname's President Chandrikapersad Santokhi conferred 'The Grand Order of the Chain of Yellow Star' on Murmu at a ceremony on June 5, 2023.

Murmu said that the honour was more special because it coincided with the 150th anniversary of arrival of Indians in Suriname.

"Receiving this decoration during the historic commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Indian arrival in Suriname makes it more special. If this honour serves as a beacon of empowerment and encouragement for women in both our countries, then it becomes even more meaningful," she said.
