The Grenadian-Portuguese relations describe the intergovernmental relationship between Grenada and Portugal . The states have had direct diplomatic relations since 1976.

The relationships are considered unencumbered, but not very intense due to the lack of points of contact.

In 2017, four citizens of Grenada were registered in Portugal, while none of them were consularly registered in Grenada.

history

Grenada was discovered for Spain by Christopher Columbus in 1498 . According to the Treaty of Tordesillas , the island fell into the Spanish sphere, so that no special relations with the Portuguese colonial empire developed. The island later became French, then British, until it gained independence in 1974.

On September 8, 1976, Grenada and Portugal established direct diplomatic relations. Pedro Martim Madeira de Andrade , Portugal's ambassador to Venezuela, was the first Portuguese ambassador to receive double accreditation in Grenada on April 26, 1983.

The relationships did not experience any significant intensification afterwards. To this day, both countries meet mainly in UN bodies .

diplomacy

Portugal does not have its own embassy in Grenada, the country belongs to the administrative district of the Portuguese embassy in the Venezuelan capital Caracas . There are also no Portuguese consulates there.

Grenada also does not have its own embassy in Portugal; the Grenadian representation in Brussels is responsible . Grenada does not have consulates in Portugal either.

economy

The Portuguese Chamber of Commerce AICEP does not have a branch in Grenada; the AICEP office in the Venezuelan capital Caracas is responsible.

In 2016, Portugal exported goods worth 18,000 euros to Grenada ( 2015 : 56,000; 2014 : 5,000; 2013 : 19,000; 2012 : 4,000), of which 35.0% machines and devices (especially fittings and sanitary installations), 34.9% Minerals and ores, 24.6% plastics and metal goods and 5.4% vehicles and vehicle parts.

During the same period, Grenada did not deliver any goods to Portugal, nor are any Grenadian exports to Portugal recorded for previous years.
