Zhang Renjian

businessman

Zhang Renjian is a prominent figure within the Chinese community in Suriname, notably associated with the Chinese Youth Federation. His involvement includes initiatives aimed at enhancing the safety and security of Chinese business operations in the region, particularly in response to incidents of violence against their enterprises. He has also played a role in training programs for community members to become extraordinary police agents. Recently, he was in the news due to the company's non-compliance with environmental regulations, which led to a significant chemical leak causing mass fish deaths in the Maripaston area, where his company, Save Residence N.V., is engaged in gold mining activities under a five-year agreement with the state-owned Grassalco.
