Considering red, green and yellow are the main colours of the Surinam flag i think she'll use one of those colours. We've seen her quite a lot in the emerald set and the Mellerio rubies so the Peacock parure would be a nice option.
Im not sure HM thinks much about the economic situation of the country she visits when selecting her jewels.
She is aware of the fact that she'll be the first Queen visiting an independent Suriname and that half of that nation's population is living in the Netherlands. So she'll need to appear as The Queen and not as the UN representative for inclusive finance of the Secretary General. I would be surprised if she did not wear a tiara.

If Maxima wears a tiara. Big If. It will be a very modest piece. I suspect she will not wear a tiara. Perhaps a brooch or necklace. Surinam is in an economically and politically fragile state, an ex colony, a republic and only in recent months, after the death of ex-president Bouterse, have diplomatic relations been normalised. Hence this greatly anticipated visit. Walking in with millions worth of diamonds in an impoverished country once looted by the motherland would not be good optics this day and age... Previous Message
December will see a number of Tiara events.
The Dutch Royal couple will pay a state visit to Suriname next week and the German president to the UK.
A week later the Swedish Royals attend the Noble awards ceremony and the dinners afterwards.
Any predictions for those events?
For the state visit to Suriname I'd love to see Maxima with the Ruby Peacock parure but I think it will be the diamond bandeau if she wears a tiara at all.
