– US Secretary of State and Dr Ali engage in discussions to bring resolution
EVER since Haiti was plunged into a state of humanitarian and political crisis, President Dr Irfaan Ali, who also serves as Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), has worked assiduously to bring peace to the sister member state.
According to Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud, these continuous efforts and hard work by President Ali have been “nothing less than monumental.”
In a post on his Facebook page, Persaud said: “Every day and for many hours our President has engaged regional and global leaders as well as Haitian stakeholders to ensure a Haitian-led and executed solution.”
He added: “All Guyanese must be proud of the leadership and compassion being extended to the Haitian people.”
Moreover, United States’ Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with President Ali on Monday.
Secretary Blinken and President Ali discussed efforts to support Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council and the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti.
Furthermore, Blinken has reiterated that the US values CARICOM’s support of Haitian efforts to promote inclusive and representative governance.
According to international news reports, heavily armed gangs attempted to take over Haiti’s main international airport, exchanging gunfire with police and soldiers in the most recent attack on important government locations in a wave of violence that also included a mass escape from the nation’s two largest prisons.
