Political relations

A delegation from Saint Kitts and Nevis, led by its Prime Minister, took part in COP21, held in Le Bourget from 30 November to 12 December 2015. This event helped to highlight our shared commitment in the fight against global warming. Like many of its Caribbean neighbours, Saint Kitts and Nevis was one of the first countries worldwide to ratify the Paris Agreement.

In 2015, Martinique joined the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), of which Saint Kitts and Nevis is a founding member. In 2019, Guadeloupe was awarded associate member status, and Saint Martin was admitted as an observer member.

Economic relations

French company Terranov, based in Guadeloupe, has developed a project to grow the geothermal energy sector, and it has greatly progressed. It is part of a renewable (geothermal) energy and digital project involving the Leeward Islands: geothermal energy is produced in Saint Kits and Saba and transported via submarine cable (including digital vectors) to Saint Martin and potentially Saint-Barthélemy.
