Barbados in the UN and in the world

A conversation with Ambassador Matthew Wilson

As part of our ambassadors’ series, for this episode we invited the Permanent Representative of Barbados, Ambassador Matthew Wilson, to explore the role of Barbados in the Caribbean region and in the world today, and its enduring partnership with the UN over 40 years.

Ambassador Wilson talks with Francesco Pisano, Director of the Library & Archives, providing us with a comprehensive insight into Barbados' fascinating history, its position as the hub for the UN Multi-Country Office (MCO) for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean and as a Permanent Representative of the key global challenges facing multilateralism, and its profound engagement with the UN as a small country.
