In 1991, Brazil recognized Georgia's independence soon after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[1] Diplomatic relations between both nations were established in April 1993. In July 2010, the Georgian embassy in Brasília was opened. Brazil opened a resident embassy in Tbilisi in June 2011.[1]

In 2008, during the Russo-Georgian War; Brazil remained neutral and asked for both sides to seek peace.[2] Brazil has not recognized the independence of Abkhazia nor South Ossetia and sees them as integral parts of Georgia.[3]

In August 2011, Georgian Foreign Minister, Grigol Vashadze, paid a visit to Brazil. In April 2012, Georgian Prime Minister, Nika Gilauri, paid an official visit to Brazil, the first by a Georgian head-of-government.[1] In 2017, Brazilian Foreign Minister, Aloysio Nunes, traveled to Tbilisi. This was the first trip by a Brazilian Foreign Minister to Georgia and it was a visit to strengthen the economic-commercial relationship between the two countries, as well as to increase possibilities for cooperation in other areas, such as tax, customs, tourism and defense.[1]
