In office since November 2015 Magalie Jeanty Magloire, Ambassador of Haiti to the Dominican Republic was recalled to Port-au-Prince after only 4 months, one month less than the term of his predecessor Daniel Supplice.

According to our sources a new ambassador is about to be appointed to replace her. Among the names circulating, that of Idalbert Jean, a former Ambassador of Haiti in Spain, seems most likely.
