Haiti–Jamaica relations
Haiti–Jamaica relations refers to the current and historical relationship between Haiti and Jamaica. Both nations have honorary consulates in their respective capitals. Since Haiti's independence in 1804, Jamaica has been a frequent destination for exiled former Haitian leaders and politicians, starting with the 3rd president, Charles Rivière-Hérard. In January, 2007, Haitian President René Préval made a four-day working visit to Jamaica. At a press conference, Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller announced that a Joint Jamaica/Haiti Commission would be convened later that year. The two countries share a maritime boundary.
