Barbadian–Surinamese relations are diplomatic relations between Barbados and the Republic of Suriname. Both countries established diplomatic relations on 8 March 1978. Barbados is accredited to Suriname from Bridgetown. Suriname is represented in Barbados through its embassy in Port of Spain, (Trinidad and Tobago).
Both countries are full members of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Group of African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP), the Group of 77, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the United Nations.
In 2009 both nations formed a Joint Commission to improve relations between both countries and expand in various areas of cooperation.
Early history
In 1650, the governor of Barbados Francis Willoughby, 5th Baron Willoughby of Parham sent a ship to start a colony in Surinam. Lord Willoughby visited the colony, Willoughbyland, to assist with its development. Fort Willoughby, under the command of Governor Lieut.-General William Byam, was captured by Dutchmen from the States of Zealand under the command of Abraham Crijnssen on 27 February 1667 after a 3-hour fight. The Dutch changed the name of Fort Willoughby to Fort Zeelandia and Willoughbyland to Netherlands Guiana.
