Jamaica hosts the Caricom meeting on the crisis in Haiti

Regional news agency Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) said sources familiar with the matter confirmed the meeting would take place in two weeks.

The celebration arose from discussions between the people of the Caribbean and the Haitian delegation present at the 46th Caricom Heads of Government Conference held in Guyana from Sunday to Wednesday.

As they told CMC, the issue will be included in the final declaration of Georgetown and the bloc will ask all parties involved to make the necessary concessions to overcome the impasse in the French-speaking country.

The people of the Caribbean, together with representatives of Canada, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and the United Nations, analyzed the crisis in Haiti, recognized the seriousness, expressed concern about the continued deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation there and emphasized: that the path to a crisis is clear with a “participatory and integrative” solution.

This issue was one of the priorities of the Caricom meeting and from the outset the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to finding strategies to end the current problems in Haiti.
