A dual-island state between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean is Saint Kitts and Nevis. It is renowned for its coastlines and cloud-covered hills. Its numerous historic sugarcane fields are now hotels or picturesque wrecks. The inactive Moun dominates Saint Kitts, the biggest of the two islands.

Saint Kitts has been a part of the Kingdom of Great Britain, which later became the United Kingdom, since 1783. The twin islands gained independence in 1983. Since then, the islands manage all of their diplomatic ties. In this article, a few of the island’s international ties and agreements are covered.

Morroco 

In 2007, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Morocco formed political ties. In 2013, both nations negotiated a Technological Framework on the Cooperation Programme for the years 2013 to 2015. 

The inhabitants of Saint Kitts and Nevis have been given a total of 20 grants per year to attend higher studies in Morocco. Additionally, Morocco continues to provide its yearly fertilizer donations to the Department of Agriculture in the Islands despite the worldwide fertilizer constraints.

Canada 

Since the island’s sovereignty in 1983, Canada has maintained a close working connection with it. The extensive people-to-people links, including those formed via travel, international, economic, and military collaboration, as well as common values form the foundation of the rich partnership. 

Together, the two countries collaborate to bolster stability on the twin island and throughout the Caribbean. To establish adequate approaches to today’s most critical global concerns, they engage extensively in international forums, such as CARICOM, Inter-American Development Bank, IMF, OECS, United Nations, and World Bank.

Cuba 

Cuba and Saint Kitts and Nevis began to forge brotherly connections on May 10, 1995, when diplomatic relations were established between the two nations. Positive and enduring, ties between both countries have grown stronger over time. For Cuba, the heroic stance of support that the twins have maintained for almost 30 years has been crucial, despite the significant obstacles, demands, and threats made by the Revolution’s foes. 

The nation respects the government’s historical and unwavering stance, which calls for the easing of the U.S.-imposed blockade that impacts every Cuban family each year.

United States 

Following gaining sovereignty from the UK in 1983, Saint Kitts and Nevis and the U.S. formally developed diplomatic ties. Both nations traditionally had cordial links. The U.S. wants to support the twin island’s democratic and financial growth.

The Government works together with the United States to combat unlawful drugs. A marine criminal enforcement agreement and a mutual legal aid agreement have been inked between the governments. Both countries also collaborate through agreements including the Youth Development Project, the Young Leaders of the Americas Project, and the Energy and Sustainability Alliance of the Americas.

United Arab Emirates 

Years of successful connections between the two regions have led to numerous areas of collaboration that both countries have successfully fulfilled. This involves the historical Air Transport Treaty being signed. 

The UAE previously indicated an interest in helping the Federation of the Twin Islands establish more robust climate change resilience measures, notably regarding infrastructure. St. Kitts and Nevis are hoping to draw on Dubai’s knowledge and skills in developing permanent and robust buildings. 

United Kingdom

There has long been colonial involvement between Saint Kitts and Nevis and the UK, followed by diplomatic ties. The High Commission of Saint Kitts and Nevis is located in South Kensington, London. In response, Saint Kitts and Nevis is represented by the High Commission of the United Kingdom, which is likewise located in Bridgetown, Barbados. 

2011 saw the signing of the agreement between the two countries regarding the sharing of tax-related information. Both countries are required to split their taxes under the agreement. They are not required to divulge their sales or trade secrets, though.
