Haiti - Politic : End of the visit of Mexican President Felipe Calderón 13/04/2012 15:12:54 Following a meeting face to face at the National Palace during a joint press conference, the President Martelly, said he was satisfied with this visit and welcomed the presence of his Mexican counterpart on Haitian soil. "[...] This is the first time that the Haitian people welcome a President of Mexico since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. President Calderón, I would like to express our appreciation for your visit to Haiti. Your presence is a clear sign of strengthening of friendly and fraternal relations between our two countries, between Haiti and Mexico [...] our relationship our relationships date of commencement of our first steps on the international stage. The President Alexandre Pétion had welcomed and supported the General Francisco Javier Mina in 1816, an independentist and a brave revolutionary who hasshed his blood for the triumph of the Mexican case, Haitians have also lost their lives for the liberation of Mexico after the landing of General Mina, April 15, 1817 in the current area of Tampico. I would also welcome the presence of your distinguished wife, Haiti has ever had the privilege of receiving her on 6 April 2010 after the earthquake of January 12, 2010. You introduced, First Lady, the series of interventions carried out by your country to assist the victims. Indeed, 80,000 IDPs were took over by Mexico. Mexican cooperation from 2010 to 2012 totaled more than $ 23 million in the areas of education, health and agriculture, not to mention the construction and repair of 15 public markets. On behalf of the Haitian people, we thank you. The Haitian-Mexican Joint Commission, whose work was on hold since December 2007 has just been reactivated. Today, as part of an open dialogue during the workshop bipartite, our discussions focused on the cooperation between our two countries and the need to revive the Joint Bilateral Commission on the Promotion of investment in Haiti and on international security issues. With the President Calderón I also spoke of peace and the evolution of democracy in Haiti." On cooperation between Haiti and Mexico, I want to present following our conversations the following points of agreement :
For his part, President Felipe Calderón expressed his appreciation for the hospitality of the President Martelly and took the opportunity to formally invite the Head of State of Haiti and his wife to visit Mexico soon. "Mexico is a country that loves you," he declared. "Haiti and Mexico, will continue to know each other better." Mr. Calderón, who welcomed the Mexican assistance to the Haitian people, renewed the solidarity and commitment of his country to Haiti. "Mexico will always be with Haiti," promised the Chief of the Mexican state. The President of the Republic of Haiti firmly believes that we must continue to attract investment in the country which is now "open for business." In this regard, a delegation of Mexican businessmen staying in Haiti since April 8, 2012 [note that Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, whose arrival had been announced, was not able come to Haiti] "I am determined to open the country to investment and Mexico is invited to join us in this dynamic," concluded the President Martelly.
