Haiti - Reconstruction : Chinese interested in the renovation of Port-au-Prince !
It seems that a Chinese company is interested in the renovation and partial reconstruction of Port-au-Prince. In a letter dated August 25, addressed to Xie Yong Jian, Advisor to China’s Southwest Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute (Sichuan), the Mayor of Port-au-Prince, Ralph Youri Chevy confirms his acceptance in principle on a preliminary project of municipal renovation of Port-au-Prince, which does not commit anything but makes it possible to make progress if necessary in the development of the file.

This very general draft contains proposals for water and drainage works, road improvements, environmental protection, drainage and sanitation, a communication network and the reconstruction of the old town of Port-au -Prince; The initial infrastructure investment is estimated at $ 4.711 billion, whose terms and conditions of financing are still unknown, as this proposal has not yet officially reached the gates of the Central Government or borrowed the official channels of bilateral cooperation.

Caution is required faced this important draft project, which has to be put back for the moment in a preliminary marketing phase of a Chinese company, to a municipal politician, both of whom benefit in terms of visibility for one and political capital for the other, while waiting to learn more. Numerous large-scale projects are proposed from time to time in Haiti, but none so far was born...
