"Our vision is that of an army resolutely oriented towards the protection of human rights and the promotion of national development. This is a forward-looking army, anchored in the values of professionalism and respect [...] We are committed to training 20,000 military personnel over the next five years, at a rate of 4,000 recruits per year [...]" The Minister of Defense reiterated the importance of the support of the international community and the IADB to ensure security in Haiti while strengthening the FAd’H.
