Wednesday, in an interview on TeleSUR in Port-au-Prince, the President Martelly has evoked the possibility that Haiti become a full member of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), whose Haiti is an observer member since 2007.
"We plan to strengthen our position at the level of ALBA [...] now we have an observer position we want to strengthen it," when the reporter asked the President Martelly if he thought integrate the ALBA, he answered "we think about this."
When asked whether this decision would affect Haiti's relations with the United States, the Head of State explained that it was not an ideological problem but an opportunity to rebuild its country "they are brother peoples and we will work with them."
The President Martelly also took the opportunity to inform that last Tuesday on the sidelines of the inauguration of President Daniel Ortega to Managua, Nicaragua, he met with his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chávez on the deepening of the assistance that brings the program PetroCaribe, in the reconstruction of Haiti.
