Regarding the timing of his arrival in Haiti, François Hollande indicated no date had been fixed "[...] there are several occasions. Both in 2015 than in 2016, we talked about it. The Organization of American States (OAS) will meet in Haiti, I could come here, this is the first opportunity and then I also have to travel in the French West Indies and I can take this opportunity to go to Haiti. So I will go to Haiti. [...]" For his part, President Martelly declared, "We have discussed with the French President, including of the issue of elections in Haiti, cooperation and the possibility of an education partnership between our two countries, where, for example, retired teachers could come to Haiti and help us to provide the appropriate education to our youth Haiti, it would be quite interesting because this is a necessary step, to train young..."

Excerpts from the speech of President Martelly to UNESCO : "Today that the world security is profoundly threatened, that men increasingly radicalized, we need others Mandela to help us defeat extremism and fanaticism. Otherwise there will be no going back. I want to say is often at the memory of the Nobel Peace that I am referring when political differences or petty politicking endanger the proper functioning of Haitian institutions, when our differences with other states could undermine regional harmony. The memory of Madiba is still alive more than ever because very few like him have overcome many challenges. I'm here to tell you that the challenge i have to meet to engage Haiti's future is daunting. I never tire of repeating that the safest way to borrow remain the education. I am one of those who believe in our youth a holistic education that teaches not only the foundation of basic knowledge but also teaches the virtues that encourages boldness, unleashes creativity, strengthens he will, citizenship, the sense of effort, empathy. I am among those who believe that the desirable overall shall not erase our cultural specificities. I am among those who believe that scientific advances and new technologies are an invaluable opportunity for a country like mine. I am even more convinced that every day, I discovered with amazement, the talent of our young people in this area, bringing the adaptation and integration program for their needs. They are supported by that certain advanced technical schools, I wanted to encourage this sector. [...] The real challenge is to pose daily actions as did Nelson Mandela, acts that have the strength to influence the material and spiritual conditions of life of all members of our society. For my part, I knew it was possible, through education, to build giant, I realized that through education the emergence of a new Haiti, at the height its history was possible.
