Welcome to the website of the Embassies of the Eastern Caribbean States and Missions to the European Union.  We have created this portal as a gateway to the work of the ECS Mission as well as to provide a link to the remarkable islands that we have the honour of serving and representing in Brussels. The Eastern Caribbean States are pleased to maintain a joint diplomatic presence here in the heart of Europe in order to ensure that the friendly relations that have long existed between our two regions by virtue of history and culture not only endure but evolve into an even more mutually beneficial partnership. This strengthened partnership is a result of our shared interest and commitment to shaping a better future for the peoples of our respective regions.

These shared priorities include tackling the complex challenges posed by climate change and natural disasters, achieving the millennium development goals and making real the aspiration   of self sustaining growth. Like the EU we also consider regional integration to be essential if States such as ours are not to be permanently relegated to the periphery of global progress in terms of trade, investment and innovation.  It is for this reason that all these concepts are at the base of existing institutional frameworks such as the CARIFORUM-EU EPA, the ACP-EU Cotonou Partnership Agreement and the EU-LAC process that underpin our relationship with Europe.  The Eastern Caribbean States look at these arrangements with favour and support their strengthening so that the full benefits of our partnership can be realised.

In Brussels, ECS representatives remain committed to pursue with focus and fervour the areas of emphasis that have been articulated by our Governments in order to further the sustainable development of the States of the Eastern Caribbean.   We trust that through this portal you will be able to contribute to our efforts by remaining engaged in the work of the Mission and becoming stakeholders in our dynamic partnerships with the European Union and the ACP across all possible levels including through academia, culture, civil society, people to people contact and international investment and trade.

Thank you for visiting.
