Both countries are full members of the Group of 15 as well as of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).

The Government of Jamaica established, in March 2012, a diplomatic mission in Brasília to contribute to strengthening the relations between both countries.

Presently Jamaica is represented in Brazil by a Chargé d'Affaires, who heads the new Diplomatic Mission, while the first resident Ambassador prepares to take up her new functions in a couple of months.

Jamaica also maintains an Honorary Consul, Mrs. Maria Pia Fauhabar Bastos-Tigre, Attorney-at-Law, located in São Paulo, the major business centre of the country.

The move is justified by the following reasons: Jamaica and Brazil have enjoyed strong relations over the years and the extent of collaboration is evident both at the bilateral and multilateral levels.
