Haitian Prime Minister Dr. Garry Conille embarked on a significant diplomatic tour on Saturday, October 5, 2024, aimed at bolstering international cooperation on security and developing technological partnerships. This mission will take him to Kenya and the United Arab Emirates, with meetings scheduled with leaders from several other African nations.
The first leg of this tour is dedicated to Kenya, where Dr. Conille will meet with President William Ruto. The primary objective of this meeting is to finalize discussions regarding the arrival of police contingents set to participate in the deployment of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti. This mission, which seeks to assist Haiti in addressing its escalating insecurity, enjoys the support of Kenya, whose authorities have committed to actively contributing to strengthening the Haitian police forces.
Following his visit to Kenya, the Prime Minister will travel to the United Arab Emirates to meet with his Emirati counterpart to discuss various issues ranging from security to new technologies. The purpose of the meeting is to enhance technical cooperation and develop partnerships in technological innovation and security solutions. The Haitian government hopes to leverage Emirati expertise to improve its technological capabilities, particularly concerning security management.
In addition to his stops in Kenya and the UAE, Dr. Garry Conille is also expected to meet with leaders from several other African countries to discuss Haiti’s socio-security crisis and potential avenues for cooperation. These discussions are intended to strengthen Haiti’s ties with the African continent, exploring various collaborative opportunities to help the country overcome its current challenges.
During his absence, the day-to-day management of the Haitian government will be overseen by Me Carlos Hercule, Minister of Justice and Public Security, who has been appointed as interim leader.
Prime Minister Conille’s tour is part of the Haitian government’s broader efforts to improve the security situation in the country while enhancing its capabilities through strategic partnerships with international actors.
