Caribbean Netherlands regional cooperation initiatives
Overview
The Caribbean Netherlands entities of Bonaire, Saba, and Statia (St. Eustatius) have engaged in several initiatives to strengthen regional cooperation and administrative standards.
In late August 2026, officials from the three islands participated in a three-day protocol and etiquette training program in Statia. This training focused on official representation, government communication, and diplomatic etiquette. The program concluded with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Saba and Statia, establishing a framework for cooperation in media relations, crisis communication, and ceremonial affairs.
In early September 2026, the focus shifted to Bonaire for the celebration of Dia di Boneiru and the annual BES Summit. During the summit, representatives from Saba, Statia, and Bonaire met to discuss mutual interests and set priorities for cooperation. Following these discussions, officials scheduled working sessions aimed at improving public service delivery across the three public entities.
