The award is a significant gesture of appreciation from Barbados, recognizing India’s growing global leadership and its deepening ties with Caribbean nations. Barbados’ President Dame Sandra Mason and Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley have been strong advocates of strengthening Indo-Barbadian cooperation across trade, healthcare, and technology sectors.
India has been a key development partner for Barbados, providing medical aid, vaccines, and technical support, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The honour further cements the historic friendship and diplomatic cooperation between the two nations.
