Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Barbados counterpart, Mia Mottley have agreed to “continue to work closely together,” on a number of global issues, including the ongoing political, socio-economic situation in Haiti.
A statement issued by the Office of the Prime Minister noted that the two leaders “spoke” over the last weekend expressing “concern over the deteriorating security in Haiti and the need to help address the political, security, and humanitarian crises in the country.
“They emphasized the importance of CARICOM’s (Caribbean Community) role in supporting an inclusive political dialogue and recommitted to working together to help address the urgent needs of the Haitian people,” the statement said.
Late last month, Trudeau and United States President Joe Biden both expressed concern about the deteriorating situation in the French-speaking CARICOM country and in a joint statement, pledged to increase community support to the people of Haiti, in particular by offering them security and humanitarian aid and better support for the National Police of Haiti (PNH).
