The Bahamas maintains close relations with the United States (its largest trading partner and neighbour) and the United Kingdom through the Commonwealth. Its foreign policy emphasises maritime security, counter-narcotics cooperation, combating illegal migration, and climate resilience.
The Bahamas is active in CARICOM and uses its relatively high development status to advocate for graduated (rather than abrupt) reduction of development aid for middle-income SIDS.
