HAITI ALBA SUMMIT

Port au Prince, Haiti Feb 2 (Reuters) – Haiti will attend as an “observer country” the summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas (ALBA) to be held on Sunday in Caracas, a spokesman for the Presidency told Reuters.

Haitian President Michel Martelly will travel tomorrow to Venezuela and Caracas, and on Sunday will move to Panama, where on Monday he will meet with President Ricardo Martinelli.

The spokesman said that Haiti does not intend to apply for membership in ALBA, contrary to an announcement on Tuesday by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who said that the Caribbean nation and others have requested membership.

Haitian Foreign Minister Laurent Lamothe* is also part of the Haitian delegation that will attend the summit of the ALBA, consisting of: Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, and Antigua and Barbuda.

The Haitian Foreign Minister will participate in meetings that will begin tomorrow to prepare for the summit on Sunday.

In a statement, Haitian President Martelly said he believes that his country’s relations with Venezuela have a special character based on

“The historical ties of solidarity”

between the two countries, and he is therefore committed to strengthen this, with the aim of

“improving the lives of the Haitian people.”

After the meeting of the ALBA, Martelly will start a trip to Panama, where on Monday morning he will hold a bilateral meeting with President Ricardo Martinelli.

The trip aims to

“strengthen bilateral relations, analyze the points of contact between the two countries and share experiences on issues of common interest,” the spokesman said.

In addition, the president will address the regulation of commercial activities of Haitians on the delivery of visas, currently two to three months, and the treatment meted out to Haitian residents, said the note from the Presidency that did not offer further details on these matters.

During these trips, Martelly will continue his advocacy for the country and the business opportunities that may be of interest to foreign investors, including Venezuelans and Panamanians.

CUMBRE ALBA HAITÍ

Puerto Príncipe, Haiti 2 feb (EFE) — Haití asistirá en calidad de “país observador” a la cumbre de la Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de América (ALBA) que se celebrará este domingo en Caracas, informó hoy a Efe un portavoz de la Presidencia.

El presidente haitiano, Michel Martelly, viajará mañana a Venezuela y desde Caracas el domingo se trasladará a Panamá, donde el lunes se reunirá con el presidente, Ricardo Martinelli.

La fuente indicó que no está previsto que Haití solicite el ingreso en la ALBA, en contra de lo que indicó el martes el presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, quien afirmó que esta nación y otras del Caribe lo han pedido.

El canciller haitiano, Laurent Lamothe, forma también parte de la delegación haitiana que asistirá a la cumbre de la ALBA, compuesta por Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, San Vicente y las Granadinas, Dominica, y Antigua y Barbuda.

El ministro haitiano participará en las reuniones que comenzarán mañana para preparar la cumbre del domingo.

Según un comunicado de la Presidencia haitiana, Martelly cree que las relaciones con Venezuela revisten un carácter especial por

“los lazos históricos de solidaridad”

existentes entre los dos países y por ello está comprometido en intensificarlas, lo que se orienta a

“mejorar las condiciones de vida del pueblo haitiano”.

Al término de la reunión de la ALBA, Martelly iniciará un viaje a Panamá, donde el lunes por la mañana mantendrá una reunión bilateral con su homólogo Ricardo Martinelli.

El viaje tiene como objetivo

“reforzar las relaciones bilaterales, analizar los puntos de encuentro entre los dos países y compartir experiencias sobre temas de interés común”,

indicó el portavoz.

Además, el mandatario abordará la regularización de las actividades comerciales de los haitianos relativas a los plazos de entrega de visados, en la actualidad de entre dos y tres meses, así como el trato infligido a los residentes haitianos, señala la nota de la Presidencia, que no ofrece mayores precisiones sobre estos asuntos.

Durante estos viajes, Martelly continuará con su labor de promoción del país y de sus oportunidades de negocio, que pudieran ser de interés para inversores extranjeros, entre ellos los venezolanos y los panameños.
