Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Haiti's Prime Minister Garry Conille held held talks on the security situation in Haiti on Monday.
Both leaders are attending the 79th United Nations General Assembly that officially gets underway in New York today.
MrConille said he discussed with Mr Holness the continued deployment in the coming weeks of Jamaican troops, as part of the Mission in Haiti and the equipment promised, particularly to help protect the bay of Port-au-Prince.
He said they also discussed regional experiences in the joint fight against armed gangs.
For his part, Mr Holness said the discussions focused on returning stability to Haiti.
Jamaica is among a handful of CARCOM countries expected to provide support to the Kenya-led United Nations sanctioned Multinational Security Support Mission aimed at returning peace and security to the country following the July 7, 2021 assassination of president Jovenel Moise.
Last weekend, Kenyan President William Ruto, who visited Haiti, said he wanted to transform the Mission into a full-scale United Nations peacekeeping operation.
