The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the theme of this year’s Diplomatic Week as ‘Innovative Approaches to A Changing World’.

The week of activities will get underway with a Church Service at Christ Church Cathedral 15 October.

This is the 4th year of the event and will be marked with attendance by the entire diplomatic corps of The Bahamas, both resident and non-resident.

Diplomatic week continues throughout the week with various addresses by senior government Ministers and other officials at the Melia Resort Nassau until Wednesday, when the diplomatic corps and other international guests will tour Freeport, Grand Bahama.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first began Diplomatic Week in 2014 as an exercise to liaise directly with all international diplomats accredited to The Bahamas and to share important goals with the country’s international friends and allies.

Diplomatic Week also serves as an opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations, promote cultural, social and economic exchanges between The Bahamas, international and regional organizations facilitated through working sessions and activities.
