During the late 17th century, France and England battled for control over Saint Kitts. It was ceded to Britain on 11 April 1713 in the Treaty of Utrecht.[1] Saint Kitts and Nevis, along with Anguilla, became an associated state with full internal autonomy in 1967 as Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla.[2] Anguillians rebelled,[3] and separated from the others in 1971. Saint Kitts and Nevis achieved independence in 1983.[4]
Saint Kitts and Nevis maintains a High Commission in South Kensington in London.[5] In turn, the United Kingdom maintains a High Commission in Bridgetown, Barbados which also serves as High Commission to Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Kevin Isaac is the current High Commissioner to the United Kingdom since January 2011.[6][7] Scott Furssedonn-Wood is the current non-resident High Commissioner to Saints Kitts and Nevis since April 2021.[8]
