The
History
Relations between Dominica and France date back to 1600-1700s leading up to when Dominica became a French colony.[7][8] Both nations have concluded a maritime boundary agreement in 1987.
In 2015, Martinique joined the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), of which the Commonwealth of Dominica is a founding member. In 2019, Guadeloupe acquired associate member status, and Collectivity of Saint Martin was admitted as an observer member.
The French embassy for Dominica and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States + Barbados is located in Castries, Saint Lucia,[9] while Dominica maintains non-resident embassy in London to France.[10]
The Roseau Alliance Française branch maintains an office close to the heart of Dominica's capital-city Roseau.[11][12]
It is estimated that roughly 3500 nationals from Dominique reside in France, with roughly 120 French nationals in Dominique.[1]
