UNITED NATIONS, 2013, CMC – Haiti has asked the global community to give the earthquake-ravaged, French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country a “second look” following the devastation caused by the powerful earthquake in 2010.
“Despite our extremely difficult legacy and countless setbacks, a new Haiti is making progress on the path of democracy and development,” Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe told the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly Debate.
He noted that just three years ago, Haiti was in the midst of recovery from the devastating earthquake and that many social and economic indicators had been in decline.
