Haiti - Economy : Official inauguration of the Port of Saint Louis du Sud (video)
Friday, January 17, 2025, Leslie Voltaire, President pro tempore of the Transitional Council, officially inaugurated the Port of Saint-Louis du Sud in Baie-du-Mesle, in the presence of Ministers Alfred Métellus (Economy), Raphaël Hosty (Public Works, Transport), Jocelin Villier, Director General of the National Port Authority (APN), Julcène Édouard Director of the General Administration of Customs (AGD), Rameau NORMIL, Acting Director General of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) and several actors and personalities from the Great South.

In his speech for the occasion, Leslie Voltaire declared that this was a great victory in the fight for the development of the South. He praised the courage and perseverance of all those who participated in the great work of this inauguration and took the opportunity to announce that the South Port represents the beginning of many other projects that will be carried out in the ongoing struggle for decentralization in Haiti. "When we will put an end to gang activities and the Martissant road is reopened, this Port will also become a stage to serve the metropolitan area. It is a symbol of rebirth and resilience for our Nation," he said.

Hailed by civil society organizations, the Southern Chamber of Commerce and the local committee of the Symposium, the Port of Saint Luis is not limited to a simple logistics infrastructure. It embodies a collective ambition, that of strengthening the economic autonomy of the Southern Peninsula while integrating the region into national priorities, according to the Prime Minister's Office.

The project aims to stimulate the local economy through easier access to markets for producers and traders in the region, attract private investment in an area with high economic potential, create job opportunities, contribute to the stabilization and resilience of the region, in response to the urgent challenges facing the populations.
