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).
On 23-24 April 2009 both nations formed a Joint Commission in Paramaribo, Suriname to improve relations between both countries and to expand into various areas of cooperation.[1] Since the first meeting a second one was held on 3-4 of March 2011 in Dover, Barbados.[2] At the second meeting several areas of mutual interest were reviewed including: agriculture, trade, investment, as well as international transport.[2]
Trade between both nations is in Suriname's favour due to Barbados importation of Suriname's Bunker ‘C’ grade fuel oil.[2] Because of the importance of natural resources, both governments discussed their overlapping maritime boundaries in 2007.[3]
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, to assist with its development. Fort Willoughby, under the command of Governor Lieutenant-General William Byam, was captured by Dutchmen from the State of Zeeland 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.[4]
