President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre of Saint Lucia have agreed to initiate formal diplomatic relations between Nigeria and the Caribbean island nation. The agreement was reached during President Tinubu’s visit to Saint Lucia, where he participated in the country’s 45th independence anniversary celebrations.
The move marks a significant diplomatic milestone, paving the way for strengthened political, cultural, and economic ties between the two countries. While details of the framework are still emerging, both leaders expressed optimism about fostering cooperation in trade, tourism, and shared heritage, particularly through Africa-Caribbean partnerships.
This development is expected to deepen Nigeria’s global diplomatic reach and aligns with efforts to expand relations with Caribbean nations through the African Union-CARICOM framework. Further announcements regarding the establishment of embassies or missions are anticipated in the coming weeks.
