NASSAU, Bahamas — The Bahamian government hopes to resume trade talks with Haiti as soon as possible, Minister of Foreign Affairs Darren Henfield said yesterday, the Nassau Guardian reported March 4.
“We are going to continue to do all that we can to reestablish our efforts with the Haitian government to further the plans that we made in the first instance when the prime minister led a delegation… to Haiti,” Henfield told The Nassau Guardian. “But you know, you plan to do things and then violence breaks out on the streets, and then everything is delayed for a time, and then you seek to reengage as soon as possible. We are seeking to reengage as soon as possible.
“The Haitian foreign minister and I had a bilateral [meeting] determined to do the same thing, and so we’re looking at how soon we can get together and start to discuss again some of the initiatives and plans that we had looked at on the prime minister’s visit.”
Last year, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis traveled to Port-au-Prince for a high-level meeting with Haitian President Jovenel Moise, where the leaders discussed strengthening trade links for the purchase and sale of agricultural products and seafood and exportable fisheries, through accepted international quality control standards. https://thenassauguardian.com/2019/03/04/bahamas-hopes-to-resume-trade-talks-with-haiti/
