Barbados

Countries that host a Barbadian Embassy or High Commission

The Caribbean nation-state of Barbados has a small, albeit growing network of diplomatic and consular missions. As a member-state of the Commonwealth of Nations, Barbadian diplomatic missions in the capitals of other Commonwealth members-states are known as High Commissions instead of embassies.

Excluded from this listing are honorary consulates, trade missions, and offices of the Barbados Tourism Authority.

## History

[edit]

In February 2020 the two Heads of Government for both Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago initialed several agreements including one which would see the sharing of various diplomatic chancery resources around the world.[1][2]

In November 2021, Barbados announced that it would launch the world's first embassy in the decentralised metaverse, an attempt to reach diplomatic parity.[3]
