Haiti President-elect for Suriname

(De Ware Tijd) PARAMARIBO — President-elect of Haiti Michel ‘Sweet Micky’ Martelly and the American-Haitian hip-hop singer Wyclef Jean will arrive in Suriname on Friday to visit President Desi Bouterse. The goal of Martelly’s visit is yet unclear but is probably in line with Haiti’s allies in the region to already strengthen relations with these countries. At the end of next week, President Bouterse will leave for Port-au-Prince, Haiti, at the head of a government delegation for the inauguration of President Martelly on 15 May.
