On Wednesday, the Haitian Government through the Ministries of Public Works and Agriculture, signed a memorandum of understanding with China National Automation Control System Corp., a construction company of the Peoples Republic of China, for the implementation of 4 major projects in the northern departments, Northwest and West.

These are: the improvement and expansion of the road corridor between Malpasse and Port-au-Prince (National Road #8) works estimated 140 million; the construction of the National Road #5, at Carrefour Joffre (Gonaives - Port-de-Paix) 80km road work estimated at $ 185 million (studies already conducted); the construction of a cable car linking Labadie and the Citadelle Laferrière and finally the fourth agreement includes strengthening agricultural infrastructure through the Ministry of Agriculture.

In his speech, Yves Germain Joseph, Minister of Planning and External Cooperation, welcomed the People's Republic of China's efforts to assist Haiti in its development process. He also mentioned that several large projects will be implemented within the framework of this cooperation, by the People's Republic of China over the coming years including the renovation of the Toussaint Louverture International Airport.

For its part, Ling Jun commercial representative of China reiterated the willingness of his country to continue supporting Haiti in the areas of infrastructure, energy and agriculture. He said hoped that this cooperation is strengthened more for the welfare of the two republics.

The implementation of these projects will allow Haiti to be more competitive in terms of tourism and better able to meet the basic needs of its population, have concluded the signatories of this document.
