Barbados–Turkey relations are foreign relations between Barbados and Turkey. Recognizing Barbados’s leading role in the Caribbean, Turkey has had friendly relations with Barbados since Barbados’ independence from the United Kingdom in 1966.[1] Diplomatic relations were established in 1972. [2]
The Embassy of Turkey in Port of Spain is accredited to Barbados.[1] The Embassy of Barbados in Brussels is accredited to Turkey.
Diplomatic Relations[edit]
Defying the United States and the Organization of American States, both Turkey and Barbados continued to support[3] each other's commitment to ideological pluralist and to maintain relations with Cuba[4] after the invasion of Grenada.[5]
Turkey and Barbados also cooperated with the CARICOM in supporting the territorial integrity of Belize in the face of a long-standing claim by Guatemala.[citation needed]
In the early 1980s, the Adams government and Turkey increased military and security cooperation[6] through what came to be known as the "Adams Doctrine,"[4] which was in response to the regional insecurity following 1979 Grenadian revolution[6]and 1979 Nicaraguan revolution.[6]
