At the political level, these matters are officially handled by theMinistry of Foreign Affairs, which answers to thePrime Minister. The Minister of Foreign Affairs isKerrie Symmonds.

Barbados is a moderatepolitical andeconomic power in the Caribbean region.

Between independence in 1966 and the 1990s, Barbados has used a pro business and investment policy to expand its influence in the world. Through the usage of its network of international bilateral relations, the country has been able to maintain an independent foreign policy. Barbados' recent policy has been to focus and strengthen ties with nations that country feels will enhance its diplomacy or foreign trade. Barbados has sought to engage in multilateral diplomacy through theUnited Nations, theCaribbean Community (CARICOM), theAssociation of Caribbean States (ACS), the group ofACP countries, theOrganization of American States, and several other agencies which it is engaged. In 2008 Barbados and the other members of CARICOM signed anEconomic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with theEuropean Union and itsEuropean Commission.[1] The deal covers CARICOM's membership in the Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM). CARIFORUM in turn is a part of theGroup of African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) States. The agreement outlines Barbados' future development and trade ties with the European Union, and serves as a blueprint for future relations between both trading blocs under theCotonou Agreement and theLomé Convention.[2]

Barbados has placed an emphasis on a furtherance of relations with the nations ofAfrica where the majority of islanders haveancestral connection.[3][4][5][6][7] A prior CARICOM-Africa summit were held with future agenda to be formulated.[8][9]

As a small nation, the primary thrust ofBarbados' diplomatic activity has been within international organisations. Currently Barbados has established official diplomatic relations with 105 countries around the globe.

History

In 1965, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago established theCaribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA). Following independence from theUnited Kingdom in 1966, Barbados went on to become a founding member of many other international organizations.

On 4 July 1973, the founding nations of Barbados,Trinidad and Tobago,Guyana, andJamaica signed the originalTreaty of Chaguaramas in Trinidad thus establishing theCaribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM). The agreement to establish CARICOM wound up succeeded the CARIFTA organisation. By the following year many of the remaining English-speaking Caribbean states followed suit and also joined CARICOM by May 1974, bring it slowly to the 15 members it has today.

Barbados also is a member of theCaribbean Development Bank (CDB), established in 1970, with headquarters inWildey, Saint Michael (Bridgetown). The eastern Caribbean'sRegional Security System (RSS), which associates Barbados with six nations of theOrganisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is also based in Barbados. In July 1994, Barbados joined the newly establishedAssociation of Caribbean States (ACS).
