Speaking at the opening ceremony for consultations with Haitian stakeholders being hosted in Jamaica from June 11 to 13, Prime Minister, Dr. Ariel Henry expressed gratitude to all the stakeholders for facilitating the discussions, and said there is no more time to waste.
“So many people of our population have been adversely affected. We do not have any more time to waste, we need a national effort to take our country out of this infernal spiral. We have to start once again to become a normal country.”

“We all know that no sustainable solution to Haiti’s problems will come from outside, neither can it be imposed by others whether they be from CARICOM or elsewhere. It is up to us, the people of Haiti to together, amongst ourselves, through our own efforts, find a common national project which will bring us together and to have a rebirth of our nation,” he said.
He noted that this is critical in rebuilding the country’s democracy.
“It’s high time for us to start the process that will lead us to free democratic and inclusive elections,” he said referring to the almost two-year transition that the country has been in since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021.
He ensured that the country will be holding elections soon.
“We have…made the commitment to have a reshuffling within the government and the promise was done to have reforms for the civil service and that was done. Significant changes have been announced to bring order to diplomacy, and that will be done,” he said.
