The Government of Trinidad and Tobago welcomes Kenya’s decision to commit 1000 police officers to support the Haitian National Police, and Kenya’s willingness to consider assuming leadership of a Multi-National Force, at the request of Haiti, for the purpose of providing assistance in alleviating the security crisis in the Haitian nation.
In the interest of the people of Haiti, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) established the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) and mandated it to facilitate dialogue and consensus-building among Haitian stakeholders with the aim of resolving the political impasse. Trinidad and Tobago remains committed to this process.
The Government of Trinidad and Tobago, whilst unable to provide boots on the ground in Haiti at this time, wishes to reiterate its willingness to contribute material resources and support to regional and international efforts to address the situation in Haiti.
