Jamaica, 7 July 2025.-On the occasion of the 49th meeting of the CARICOM Conference of Heads of State and Government, held from 6 to 8 July 2025 in Jamaica, Montego Bay, Councillor-President Laurent Saint-Cyr represents Haiti. Security, political transition and regional cooperation will be at the heart of its participation, in a national context marked by insecurity and popular expectations of change.
In a period of political transition, Haiti is preparing to make its voice heard on the regional stage through the participation of its Councillor-President, Mr. Laurent Saint-Cyr, in the 49th Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The theme of the event is: « Peoples, Partnerships, Prosperity: Promoting a secure and sustainable future ». A framework for strategic dialogue in which the Haitian situation will be a central topic.
At the heart of his interventions, the Councillor-President will once again defend the need for enhanced support for the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti (MSS), while advocating for increased mobilization for national security forces. He will remind that Haitians and Haitians are entitled to a secure, stable and dignified future, a goal conditioned by the restoration of order, the organization of credible and inclusive elections, as well as a robust economic recovery.
In addition to the high-level discussions, Haiti also intends to strengthen its diplomatic and economic ties with other CARICOM member countries, with a view to regional solidarity. For the Haitian authorities, this participation is a tangible demonstration of the will to fully integrate the dynamics of regional cooperation, while defending the interests of the Haitian people on the international stage.
Security, democratic transition, the fight against transnational crime, but also sustainable development and economic resilience will all be priority areas to be discussed by the Haitian delegation. In a context where the country seeks to break out of chronic instability, regional diplomacy appears more than ever to be an essential lever.
