![]() Haiti - Economy : Martelly met with representatives of the fisheries sector 02/01/2012 10:53:49
"Attentive to the hopes of the fishermen, of their expectations, of their essential experiences, of their practices, of their knowledge of the environment, I come take informations at the source. I come learn from them, because my mission is primarily to serve," stressed the Head of State who invited the fishermen to create a structure to manage the problems inherent to the sector while promising them his total support. The President Martelly is committed to working to transform the fishing into a true industry that can in the future mobilize foreign investment. In their speaking, some leaders of fishermen's organizations say they recognize the will of the Head of State to give a new boost to this sector and expressed the needs and availability of the industry. The meeting held at the initiative of President Martelly aims the participation of all sectors in the reform and the restructuring of their respective activities in order to guarantee the country's economic development. Before leaving for Cuba last November, President Martelly had declared about fishing "...the fishing is very important to us, we are already working to develop by the end of the month, a seminar on fishing and trades of the sea. This will be an opportunity to talk about the development of remote areas, coastal towns, areas where the population have marine wealth, but who has no means and does not know how to exploit them. The trades of the sea can allow to certain cities where there are many fishermen to enjoy of an economic development through this area. We have already identified two people who will establish this Commission, which will consist of fishermen, academics, members of government officials. [...] A partner that can help us a lot on this subject is the Cuban cooperation. This file has already been discussed with the representative of UNESCO in Haiti, Michaëlle Jean, who has promised to begin negotiations with universities experts in the field..." HL/ HaitiLibre
