List of high commissioners of New Zealand to Barbados
 | This article needs to be updated. (March 2020) |
The high commissioner of New Zealand to Barbados is New Zealand's foremost diplomatic representative in Barbados, and in charge of New Zealand's diplomatic mission in Bridgetown, Barbados.
The high commission is located in a building shared with the British High Commissioner to Barbados at Lower Collymore Rock Rd. in Bridgetown, Barbados' capital city. New Zealand has maintained a resident high commissioner in Bridgetown since March 2014.[1] It is further accredited to: Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Barbados are at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Thus, the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
