Barbadian–Surinamese relations are diplomatic relations between Barbados and 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).
In 2009 both nations formed a Joint Commission to improve relations between both countries and expand in various areas of cooperation.[1]
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 Suriname.
