Franco-Haitian cooperation in the field of security has intensified. In 2025, more than 400 police officers from the specialized units of the PNH, SWAT, UTAG, POLIFRONT, BRID and BRI, attended eleven trainings, some with the support of elite units of the French police such as RAID and the Anti-Tupefiants Office (OFAST). France also delivered four tonnes of equipment to the PNH.
Military cooperation continued between the Armed Forces of Haiti (FAd) and the Armed Forces in the West Indies, with three new cohorts of Haitian soldiers trained in Martinique. Since 2024, about 100 Haitian soldiers have already benefited from this program.
