They also highlighted the efforts of the Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad (MHAVE) and the Ministry of Tourism to identify all members of the Haitian diaspora.
Given the interest of the diaspora to obtain a National Identification Card (CIN), Jean Baptiste Saint-Cyr explained that his institution does not conceive card using declaration.
