(Defend Haiti) - By Samuel Maxime
PORT-AU-PRINCE - President Michel Martelly wants a more noticeable presence of MINUSTAH alongside the Police Nationale d'Haiti to combat banditry.
The President of the Republic, H.E. Michel Joseph Martelly, received Wednesday morning at the National Palace, the new head of MINUSTAH, Chilean, Mariano Fernández Amunátegui, who is replacing Guatemalan diplomat Edmond mullet.
The President urged Fernandez to work for and demonstrate a more noticed presence alongside the PNH, to cope more effectively with banditry in the territory.
Insecurity and dismantling criminal networks would be the task for the UN mission and Martelly demanded that the mission meet frequently with the Haitian National Police.
The President reiterated the sentiment of his predecessor Rene Preval and expressed to Mr Fernandez the necessity of channeling the resources and means of MINUSTAH to the effort of development and reconstruction of the country.
The Chilean diplomat informed the Head of the State of the availability of a Fund for "intensive labor work", which will enable the mission to respond immediately to certain expectations of the President and pledged to assist in the development and reconstruction.
