Diplomatic relations

Bilateral relations between two countries have been warm[2] and friendly. St. Vincent and the Grenadines’s foreign policy traditionally[2] mirrored that of Britain’s. The two countries ties were especially close after Maurice Bishop’s New Jewel Movement coming to power[2] in 1979, when the public opinion in St. Vincent and the Grenadines supported Prime Minister Cato’s decision to intervene in Grenada.[3]
