Bangladesh has established diplomatic ties with Saint Kitts and Nevis, an island country in the West Indies.

In this regard, Bangladesh Ambassador to the US Mohammad Ziauddin and Saint Kitts and Nevis Ambassador to the US Thelma Phillip Browne formally signed the joint communiqué on Monday on behalf of their respective countries at the Bangladesh embassy in Washington, D.C.

Saint Kitts and Nevis is an active member of the United Nations, Caribbean Community (CARICOM); Organization of American States (OAS), Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and other international bodies and multilateral forums.

With the establishment of diplomatic ties, Bangladesh would expect support of Saint Kitts and Nevis on different critical issues in international and multilateral fora as well as it would bring momentum to Bangladesh’s endeavors to enlist support in various elections to the international organizations and forums, the embassy said.

Besides, it would pave the way for unveiling a new vista of bilateral trade and tourism between the two countries.
