Haiti - Venezuela : Haiti reiterates its commitment against the regime of President Nicolas Maduro
Thursday morning in Washington DC Haitian Chancellor Claude Joseph accompanied by a delegation made up of Ambassador Léon Charles, Permanent Representative of Haiti to the OAS, Ambassador Hervé Denis, Head of Mission at the Embassy of Haiti to Washington, and Dr Weibert Arthus, Chief of Staff to the Minister, spoke with representatives of countries in the Lima Group on the general situation in the hemisphere, and more specifically the political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.

After the meeting, Chancellor Joseph said, "I met this morning with representatives of the member countries of the Lima Group, on the crises and geopolitical threats facing our region, in particular the crisis in Venezuela. The Republic of Haiti, which occupies the second vice-president, is committed to facilitating the implementation of the Interamerican Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance mechanisms (Rio Treaty) an important instrument for the maintenance of peace and the stability of the hemisphere."
