List of High Commissioners of the United Kingdom to Jamaica
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Jamaica is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in Jamaica, and in charge of the UK's diplomatic mission in Jamaica.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Jamaica are at governmental level, rather than between Heads of State. Thus, the countries exchange High Commissioners rather than ambassadors.
Since 2005 the British High Commissioner to Jamaica has also been non-resident High Commissioner to The Bahamas.
