PALESTINE & BARBADOS SIGN JOINT DECLARATION TO ESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
June 13, 2024Palestine and Barbados signed a joint declaration officially establishing diplomatic relations in a meeting on Tuesday, two months after the Caribbean island announced it would officially recognise a Palestinian state.
Palestine’s ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, signed the declaration at the Permanent Mission of Barbados to the UN in New York, alongside his Barbadian counterpart, Francois Jackman.
Mansour described the day as “”historic”” and drew parallels between the Palestinians and the Caribbean nation’s struggle for sovereignty and freedom, as Barbados was a British colony from the 17th century, before achieving independence in 1966.
The two countries said their diplomatic ties would be based “”on international law, with an emphasis on respecting and enhancing global peace and security, as well as the principles of equality among states””, the Palestinian news agency WAFA said.
In a statement posted on X, Mansour said: “”Not only do we establish our diplomatic relations and solidify our friendship between our peoples, but we also recognise our distant yet common history of a just struggle towards self-determination, towards independence, towards sovereignty, towards equality, and towards freedom.””
