CARICOM does not have any quick or easy fixes to Haiti situation – Chair

New Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Belizean Prime Minister John Antonio Briceño says that the situation in Haiti is a cause for concern for the entire region and while CARICOM is working with the member nation, there are no quick fixes.

“We have devoted significant time over the past year in considering how the Community can best support Haiti in grappling with a multitude of crises on top of which is now a constitutional crisis. We do not have any easy or quick fixes.

“But what we know for sure, is that the Community will continue to walk alongside Haiti; we will continue to offer our support, solidarity and cooperation; and we will continue to advocate for an international response that is commensurate with the needs of Haiti,” Prime Minister Briceño told his fellow CARICOM leaders yesterday.
