Dominica Embassies on Foreign Soil

Embassies of Dominica abroad are important for establishing physical presence in countries where the island has interests. Over the years Dominica has developed close and friendly ties with a number of countries globally. Embassies of Dominica abroad are evidence of the Dominica’s relationship with the country as well as the importance Dominica places in establishing diplomatic relations. There are a number of overseas embassies of Dominica. One of the main roles of an embassy of Dominica abroad is to protect and provide assistance to its citizens in that country and other countries located nearby where citizens of Dominica possibly reside. Assistance can always be obtained from an embassy in a foreign country of there is not an embassy of Dominica in the country of domicile. Dominica embassies overseas provide a life line to Dominican citizens in foreign countries and assistance in the event that medical, financial and legal difficulties are encountered.

Although Dominica has very close ties with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela there is no physical embassy of Dominica in Venezuela. Any information requested by Dominican citizens in Venezuela has to be directed to the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Labour. The Dominican Ambassador responsible for Dominican foreign relations in Venezuela is Dr. Philbert Aaron.

These overseas consulates and embassies of Dominica have further strengthened good relations with foreign countries and are responsible for representing the home country abroad when handling major diplomatic issues. Unexpected difficulties do happen unfortunately to citizens abroad and an embassy or consulate is the best way for citizens to ensure their rights and privileges are not infringed upon.
