The United States convened a senior-level virtual International Partners Meeting on December 17 to address the security, political, and economic challenges in Haiti and put forward opportunities to support the Haitian people. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian Nichols will chair the meeting.

Participants will include a broad range of governments and international organizations committed to Haiti’s development. The meeting will seek commitments to prevent further deterioration of security and economic conditions, as well as efforts to support Haitian-led solutions to Haiti’s political impasse.

The United States seeks to bring together the international community to work together in partnership with the Haitian people on a unified approach to assist Haiti in restoring its democratic institutions.

Haitian Chancellor Jean Généus and Haitian Ambassador to Washington Edmond Bocchit will attend this meeting. Jean Généus will deliver the opening remarks, following those of Brian Nichols

"[...] It is a good thing that the partners want to come together to help Haiti find much more lasting solutions to the social and economic crisis and especially to the security problem [...] They will see with the Haitian authorities how to help," said Ambassador Edmond.
