Bilateral relations Switzerland–Dominica

Diplomatic and economic relations between Switzerland and Dominica are good but limited in scope. The Swiss embassy in the Dominican Republic represents Swiss interests in Dominica.

Key aspects of diplomatic relations

The Swiss embassy in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) represents Swiss interests in Dominica. Since May 2011, the Regional Consular Centre in Santo Domingo has been in charge of all consular services.

On 11 November 2021, Switzerland and Dominica signed an agreement on international emissions offsetting in connection with the Paris Climate Accords. The agreement establishes a framework allowing Switzerland to support climate protection projects in Dominica in order to contribute more to global emission reductions than it would be able to via domestic measures alone.
