The tiny Caribbean islands, Saint Kitts and Nevis, became the 138th country to recognise Palestine as a state.
The country’s prime minister and foreign minister, Mark Brantley, announced the decision on his Facebook page.
He posted a photograph of himself with Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki, who visited the country for the occasion.
Saint Kitts and Nevis “remains a friend to all and will continue to lend its voice to the realisation of global peace and security,” Malki said.
