Israel’s representation to Barbados is through its New York
embassy to the Caribbean, while Israel also has an Honorary Consul-General in
Bridgetown. The Barbadian High
Commissioner in London is accredited as the non-resident Ambassador to Israel. Barbados also has an honorary consul in Tel
Aviv, Israel.
Barbados and Israel established diplomatic relations within
one year of the island’s independence.
The two countries maintain a lively trade of over 2 million US$ (2014),
while a number of Barbadian professionals travel to Israel each year for
advanced courses in fields such as education, agriculture and healthcare.
The Jewish community in Barbados, although small, dates from
1654 and is among the oldest in the New World.
Various activities help maintain the connection between the Jewish
community and Israel.
