Statement from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the Installation of Haiti's Prime Minister and Government

Jun 19, 2024

(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) - The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) welcomes the installation of Haiti's Prime Minister Garry Conille and the members of his government on 12 June 2024. It is a much anticipated and critical step in addressing the multifaceted crisis and facilitating the transition, through free and fair elections, toward a return to constitutional governance and restoration of lapsed institutions.

The Community has taken keen note of the priorities outlined by both the President of the Presidential Transition Council and the Prime Minister for the transition process, including public security, elections, economic recovery, food and health security, strengthening the rule of law and justice, the national conference and constitutional reform, as well as infrastructure rehabilitation. We applaud the emphasis that was also placed on improving the conditions of all Haitians, transparency and integrity in public affairs and zero tolerance for corruption.

The Caribbean Community extends its best wishes to the transition government and reiterates its readiness to support the government and people of Haiti as they embark on this crucial journey despite the challenging circumstances.
