The Republic of Barbados has officially recognized Palestine as a state, becoming the 140th United Nations member and the 11th Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member to do so.
In a statement released today, Barbados’ Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Kerries Symmonds, said that his country “made the determination that the time is ripe for us to have a formal diplomatic recognition of the State of Palestine.” He added that Barbados has always advocated for a two-state solution to the conflict.
“How can we say we want a two-state solution if we do not recognise Palestine as a state?” Symmonds questioned.
He pointed out the inconsistency in Barbados’ position, noting that despite advocating for a two-state solution, the country had not previously recognized the State of Palestine. (ILKHA)
