Haiti - Politic : Opening of the 11th Council of Ministers Petrocaribe
The 11th Council of Ministers Petrocaribe opens this Friday, September 6 for 2 days at the Royal Oasis Hotel in Petionville. Haiti, member of the Petrocaribe alliance since 2006, welcomes for the first time this event where 20 countries of the region participates.

The meeting of the Council of Ministers Petrocaribe will focus on the constitution of the Petrocaribe economic zone that want to be a space of production and exchange of goods and services between the countries of the region. "We are proud to be both actors and witnesses of the birth of this new mechanism for regional solidarity, bearer of economic growth and employment to combat exclusion that affects millions of people in our region," declared Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe in the preamble to this meeting.

Recall that during the Eighth Summit of Heads of State and Government of the member countries of Petrocaribe, the President Michel Martelly, had praised the resolution of the Heads of State and Government on the implementation of the future Economic Zone, carrier of hope and economic and social benefits to the peoples of the region, particularly the most vulnerable.

During these two days, 5 working groups will focus on the following themes :

- Transport and communication

- and Integration
- Social and cultural

Haiti has been designated as facilitator countries for thematic Social-Cultural and will develop during this Council, the following three sub-themes :

- Centre for Community Integration
- University Petrocaribe
- Cultural activities

Rose Anne Auguste, Delegate Minister for the promotion of human rights and the fight against extreme poverty, which has had several occasions to attend meetings of Petrocaribe, represents Haiti in this instance "For some time we see a different perspective to focus on Haiti, [...] It is important to work with countries that have the same realities as us, climatic, cultural, etc... and consider together, of solutions to overcome our weakness. We have much more to gain than to lose in this economic zone Petrocaribe, everything that is implemented to reduce extreme poverty is the result of the pooling of these complementarities, of this solidarity."

The 20 participating countries will be able to discover on the location of the event, Haitian cultural heritage through a craft show, a mural painted over the two days and many musical entertainment. They will also discover, through a trade fair, which will take place in the gardens of the Oasis, the diversity of Haitian agricultural production and more specifically products like coffee, liquid sugar and cocoa, that the country could export to Venezuela to debt repayment.

"The slogan 'Energia para la Union' showed the way for the collective acquisition of new ideals and new opportunities. This meeting in Petionville, will lay the foundation for the the evolution of this energy agreement expected to become the Petrocaribe economic zone... We have here the beginnings of a brighter future for future generations, through this new innovative and ambitious project," welcomed the Head of Government on the eve of the event.
