The Republic of Malta and Brazil have diplomatic relations since 1975, but Malta has no consulate or embassy in Brazil - The American country is represented by the Brazilian embassy in Rome, while Malta assigned a non-resident ambassador to be in charge of all matters regarding Brazil.

The island country was very valuable during the period of political conflict in Libya, providing logistic and humanitarian support to help evacuate employees of a brazilian company from the conflict zone - Other matters in which Malta and Brazil find touching points are financial cooperation and consular assistance.
