The President, who said he was aware of other support measures to be taken by the state to encourage such investments, promised to his interlocutor and his friends that he is not only inviting them to invest in the country, but he comes also to give them the guarantee that these investments will be protected with the establishment of the rule of law; part of his commitment to supporting non-stop creation of new jobs across the country.

President Martelly thanked Mr. Soros for the support of his foundation which is important in Haiti and encouraged him to maintain this commitment before applying himself as a "businessman" and invited him and his friends, to consider the new opportunities that Haiti can provide.
