The de facto President of Haiti, Jocelerme Privert, "presents its sympathies to the people and to the French government strongly experienced by the attack occurred in Nice, on the evening of July 14, 2016," the same day of the National Day of France which left at least 84 dead and over 200 injured.

"The Head of State is deeply shocked by this tragic event that caused the death of dozens of citizens and French citizens and of other nationalities. This act of terrorism is a new affront to freedom and democracy in the world."

In the morning of 15 July, President Privert went in person to the Embassy of France to Port-au-Prince, to express sympathy and solidarity, as well as those of the Haitian people to all French nationals, employees and/or volunteers established on national territory.

Jocelerme Privert, "while wishing to see the French Republic to recover quickly after this drama, conveys his sympathies to the relatives of the victims and to all French affected by this terrible event."
