To this end, he reiterated his determination to combat the insalubrity.

Donald Paraison expressed his gratitude to the President, to the current Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and other authorities and personalities that have supported this activity.

Thus, you will contribute in an intelligent and pragmatic way to the construction of this Haiti of continuous progress, whose I'm trying to lay the foundations. I count on you to ensure that the monitoring work of this conference, will produce the results that we are entitled to expect," said the President of the Republic, launched a solemn appeal to his countrymen, who must understand the necessity to contribute actively in the fight against insalubrity in the collective interest.
