Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, official relations between both nations have been limited.

In August 2011, Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze paid a visit to Mexico and announced the opening of a Georgian embassy in the country. The embassy was opened later that year in Mexico City.[4] In July 2016, a Mexican Delegation of the Foreign Relations Committee, led by Senator Gabriela Cuevas Barron, paid a visit to Georgia.[5]
