The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade handles Jamaica’s external relations and foreign trade. It implements Jamaica’s foreign policy, manages international relations, and promotes Jamaica’s interests overseas. Jamaica established its foreign ministry soon after independence in August 1962 as the Ministry of External Affairs. In 1976, the ministry was renamed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and later it expanded to include Foreign Trade.

Headquartered at 21 Dominica Drive, Kingston 5, the ministry is led by Minister Kamina Johnson Smith. Website: mfaft.gov.jm.
