History edit

Jamaica and Mexico are two American nations with a common history. Both nations had been under control of the Spanish Empire and Jamaica was governed from the Viceroyal of New Spain based in Mexico City.[2] In May 1655, Jamaica became under British rule until its independence in August 1962.[2] Diplomatic relations between Jamaica and Mexico were established on 18 March 1966.[1] At the time, Mexico saw Jamaica as a leader of English speaking Caribbean nations.[1]

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, both nations have worked together in numerous international forums such as the Association of Caribbean States, Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the Organization of American States (OAS) where in 1970s, both Jamaica and Mexico were the only nations to actively protest against the exclusion of Cuba from the OAS and called for the normalization of relations with the Cuban government.[3]

In 1974, Mexican President Luis Echeverría paid an official visit to Jamaica. In 1975, Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley paid a visit to Mexico. Since then, there have been several high-level visits between leaders of both nations.[1]

In September 2021, Jamaican Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson Smith traveled to Mexico to attend the VI CELAC summit.[4] In July 2023, Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson Smith and Mexican Foreign Secretary Alicia Bárcena met in Belgium where they signed the Final Act of the 10th Mexico-Jamaica Permanent Binational Commission, a framework for collaboration between the two countries aimed at strengthening trade, investment and cooperation opportunities as well as advancing diplomatic relations.[5] In March 2024, Foreign Secretary Alicia Bárcena paid a visit to Jamaica.[6]
