Diplomatic relations between Brazil and The Gambia were established in 1965, the year the African country gained its independence. The Brazilian Embassy in Dakar (Senegal) is cumulatively responsible for representing Brazil to the Gambian Government. The Gambian representation to the Brazilian Government is cumulative with the Embassy of that country in Washington (United States).
