The Government of Dominica has appointed Mr. Julius Timothy as Non-Resident Ambassador to Mexico.
Diplomatic relations between Dominica and Mexico were formalized at the Ambassadorial level in 1991. Since then, relations between the two countries have been cordial and have developed significantly, particularly since the establishment of the Embassy of Mexico in St. Lucia.
The Embassies/Permanent Missions of both countries to the Organization of American States (OAS) are also instrumental in the conduct of Dominica – Mexico relations.
Dominica and Mexico signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement with Mexico during the III CARICOM-Mexico Summit which was held in the margins of VI Summit of the ACS in April 2014. The Agreement includes information on an Infrastructure Fund Trust for Mesoamerican and Caribbean countries proposed by the Mexican government as a strategy for financial cooperation for the region. Signature of the Agreement has served to institutionalise the informal arrangements that existed between the two countries for bilateral cooperation.
Following a visit by Mexican delegation headed by His Excellency Dr. Jose Antonio Meade Kuribrena, Minister of External Relations of Mexico in February 2014, the Government of Mexico made available the sum of US$500,000.00 to the Government of Dominica as part of a programme of assistance to the three OECS Member States in support of their rehabilitation efforts following devastation caused by the extreme weather event of December 24, 2013.
In the area of Human Resource Development, Dominican secondary school Spanish teachers have been specifically trained through a series of workshops in Mexico and selected Caribbean countries since 2006. The Government of Mexico has also provided scholarships to pursue studies leading to a Bachelors Degree or Masters Degree at selected Mexican Universities. Additionally technical cooperation in the field of Agriculture is a key component of the bilateral relationship.
In response to Government’s request for assistance following the devastation of tropical storm Erika on August 27, 2015, theGovernment of Mexico has provided US$250,000 towards obtaining materials or equipment to aid the reconstruction process. The Government of Dominica has also requested that US$5million which was previously requested by the GOCD for the construction of a sporting facility should be redirected to be used for the design and construction of an integral urban plan for the severely affected village of Petite Savanne.
In 2015 the Government of Mexico inaugurated an Office for Non-resident Ambassadors from Caribbean countries and Representatives of Regional Organisations without a presence in Mexico. This office provides facilities for accommodation to CARICOM Non-resident Ambassadors on official visits to Mexico, with a view to facilitating contacts with authorities, entrepreneurs and relevant stakeholders in the country. The new office will help strengthen Mexico’s political, economic and cooperative ties with the region.
As Ambassador of Dominica to Mexico, Mr. Timothy will work closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & CARICOM Affairs to ensure effective implementation of Agreements signed between the two countries and the identification of further areas for technical cooperation. Mr Timothy is a businessman and a former parliamentarian who has served Dominica as Minister for Finance and Minister for Health and has formidable private and public sector experience.
The Government of Dominica has obtained Agrément from the Mexican authorities for Mr. Timothy’s accreditation as non-resident Ambassador of Dominica to Mexico and he will soon visit Mexico to present credentials to the Head of State.
Why?? Not vital or urgent
The wages paid to this gentleman should be used to repair some of the damages caused by Erika.
That RED TIE doesn’t suit your suit.
Do non-resident ambassadors enjoy the same fiscal advantages and privileges as do resident ones? (tax free purchase of vehicles to but one).
Tim.. Tim… bwa sèk……lè i bon……dit i bon…..mais lè i mauvais…….ce temp pour jétér…..
…TIM…YOUR TIME PASS……PM…its time for frehs blood…you of all people should know that…
Did the Gov-we-ment appointed him? I think it was scary who did.
Bods without feather walk together.

Really! So many Dominicans graduate from Spanish speaking countries! And they appointing Julius. you guys really put politics before the people.
Speakie.. sparnish Tim???.I hope so..don’t bite your tongue now….
Best wishes….
A translate will be appointed.
The same feeders at the trough never ends.
Dr. Skerrit needs to take care of his own! Or Else …………………………………….
Seems the Good ole boys network is not only prevalent in the U.S. but also in DA. Should have given someone else a chance to build their credentials. SMH
“Timothy will work closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & CARICOM Affairs to ensure effective implementation of Agreements signed between the two countries and the identification of further areas for technical cooperation.”
Boy I have to laugh, Mexico is the poorest of the three North America, with no particular R&D, or major scientific development, some place are poorer than Dominica, I wonder what type of technical cooperation can there be between Dominica, and Mexico, where people are still sleeping on dirt floors.
When I was a kid I was informed that in the 1920 that was the case in Dominica, but we are in the twenty-first century. If you drive a modern car into Mexico, and fill your tank with gasoline refined in Mexico your car, may never perform properly henceforth!
Another joke on Dominica, a beggar nation expecting to benefit from a poor nation with 11,000,000 of its people entered the US illegally to evade poverty in Mexico!
I will advise Skerrit to make you residence ambassador to Mexico, in Tijuana: You might be very happy living in TJ among the corrupt creatures of the night!
You know you might happy to live among the drug cartels, thieves and murders; that might be an excellent market for the sale of Dominica passports.
Really? This is going too far now!!
Mr.PM I think you should start giving the young people of Dominica a chance, So many have graduate college and am sure are well qualifie to do that job but instead a man that’s old enough to go into retirement has been given the job. Oh my and you expect things to get better in Dominica. These young people are sitting home doing nothing. Praying for the young people of Dominica. Lord have mercy.
This is one time I will not support Mr Skerrit! This is really too much. You mean to tell me Skerrit can´t find a more suitable person for that post? Does he know that there are Dominicans living in Mexico? What kind of representation can these people expect from Timothy? Does he even know what life is like for them in Mexico? What does Julius Timothy know about Mexico and it´s economic situation? This a real case square pegs in round holes!
But not de oda day dey appoint timothy to a board na. Skerrit teally taking people for fool wii. But is him da de real donkey in my eyes
ONLY a few shall eat while others have been told to SOUSAY Sel until further notice. Jobs for the boys while our country collapses.
Always assertive!
And can it be……
The history of corruption in Dominica just got more interesting. The man the red party once described as the “architect of corruption ” has now been made an Ambassador. With this diplomatic cover, is the Dear Leader creating the conditions for more corruption.
Mexico is one of the most impoverished, crime and gang related country in the Area. It has one of the most highest levels of poverty and illegal activities. Mexicans are quing and risking their lives to cross over to the USA in droves.
Is Mexico serious in helping Dominica address its developmental needs. Has Tim Tim or Skerrit been to Mexico to see the level of poverty and deprivation in Mexico. OMG. Non resident Ambassador. How much is this Man being paid to stay home a……and to do what?
Give me a break. Mexico has money and aid to give, really?
This DLP Skerrit led government are sickening to the core. No foresight, no knowledge, no decency et etc……please Dominicans wake up.
When are we going to focus in cleaning our house and backyard, starting with the fifth floor way at the top of Financial Centre. Watch, a Tony, any Tony will soon be appointed as Non Arab Ambassador to some Arab country
@ View Expressed….. you are obviously a very ignorant person. On what do you base your opinion? Do you have any facts to support your claims? Please go read up on Mexico and stop listening to American propaganda!
That place is infested with the Zicka Virus. Be on the guard.
Omg my prime minister just lost it. Way papa.
I hope he does not end up in ICU. Wear your goggles.
This cinstant redirecting of funds from its original intended purpose is a very bad practice. Energies have already been directed towards one purpose, then it changes. This is why nothing gets built.
CONGRATS TIMMIY
Congrats for What!!!!!!? Are yo serious.?
Get stuffed Timmy. The man doesn’t even speak Spanish. I’m really feeling sick to my stomach with all this nonsense. Does Roosevelt Skerrit really owe that much to a man, rejected by his constituents?
Recycled Derelict,thats all what is happening in this country, the Govt just recycleing them tired,out of ideas,boys
If that was the case they all had to go including the Doctor.
Anyone needs extra cash to block a hole?
Is that an extension of the RED CLINIC.
Once I wanted to unblock the pipelines now am having em unblock for me. my 24/7 not doing so well.
Really
“When school leavers can’t find work and NEP is their only hope…and 70 yr olds getting work”…..its nothing strange, it’s time for change.
Give the young people a chance man!! What about developing the human capital of the next generation!!
Chhh one thing Labour does take care of their own eh….tsk tsk tsk.
Incompetence continues,waste of the poor peoples money.SMH.
It may be a waste of money, but it is not a waste of poor people’s money because by and large, they don’t pay taxes.
Well, the man lose his seat so the DLP administration has to find a way for him to continue to suck from the DLP teat. SMDH!!! This administration is just too much, too brazen, too obvious.
Job for the boys.Ambruise Pwen Couwe,Tim Tim,Gloria,Aloe,Shanksssss…..In the mean time most Dominicans are SOUCAYING SEL…Backbone of the economy passport sales….Who cannot hear will feel…IT’S EARLY STILL!
OMG! I I really like Mr. Timothy but did the government make conduct a thorough investigation before appointing the man? Also, if the people whom he represented for over 15 years rejected him, then why should the government give him a better paying job? Are they paying him for something?
He’s part of the boys club. He doesn’t have to qualify.
Can he speak spanish
oui oui. lol
He can use google translate
Is this for real?
Can someone please explain to me what is really going on in this country.
