History
Relations between Germany and Jamaica have been untroubled and friendly since Jamaica gained its independence in 1962. Since then, bilateral relations have evolved into a trusting partnership based on shared interests and mutual respect.
Although Jamaica became a middle-income country in terms of per capita earnings, with a total worth of 255 million euros (in 2003), it remains as a partner of Germany’s development cooperation. German direct investment in Jamaica is negligible, though there is indirect German participation in hotel projects in the Jamaica.
According to Jamaica Tourist Board figures, 21,371 German tourists visited Jamaica in 2014, which is 8.7% more than in the previous year.
Jamaican undergraduate and postgraduate students can study at German universities thanks to German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and another special scholarships.
