On Friday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who participates as a guest to the 21st Ibero-American Summit, has formally requested to the community of Latin American nations the admission of Haiti as a participating Nation "The French language separates us a little from the rest of Latin America, but we are a country with a lot of points in common with the rest of the region." The Minister Lamothe has thanked for the support that Haiti has received in recent years, especially Cuba for health, and in particular Venezuela and Brazil who are planning to build a power plant in Haiti. "We came here to look into the eyes of the representatives of Latin America and say you thank you for this valuable assistance." On the sidelines of the Summit, Laurent Lamothe declared in a press conference that Haiti was "open for business" in these times where stability is beginning to recover "We want more resources through direct private investment, which is the best way to generate sustainable development [...] to replace the humanitarian aid that will not last "forever." The Chancellor also announced that November 18, 2011, the new government of President Michel Martelly will activate a new national security force which will take "at least two years" to fully assume its security activities in Haiti. Regarding the presence of the Minustah on the ground of Haiti, the Minister explained that it was not possible at this time, to set a departure date of the UN Mission, recalling that Haiti only have a police force of 10,000 men, with an annual budget of 150 million, while the UN operates its troops with 870 million dollars. Laurent Lamothe reported that while waiting this new security force in Haiti, the government remains in favor of the continuation of the work of the UN Mission for Stabilization in Haiti because "its role has been and remains, very important" until that Haiti is ready to take over.
