MARTELLY EVOKES THE POSSIBILITY TO BECOME A FULL MEMBER OF ALBA
(Haiti Libre) -
Wednesday, in an interview on TeleSUR in Port-au-Prince, President Martelly has evoked the possibility of Haiti becoming a full member of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of America (ALBA), of which Haiti has been an observer member since 2007.
"We plan to strengthen our position within ALBA [...] now we have an observer position and we want to strengthen it." When the reporter asked President Martelly if he thought of integrating within ALBA, he answered that "we will think about this."
When asked whether this decision would affect Haiti's relations with the United States, the Head of State explained that it was not an ideological problem but an opportunity to rebuild the country. "They are brother peoples, and we will work with them."
President Martelly also took the opportunity to inform that last Tuesday on the sidelines of the inauguration of President Daniel Ortega in Managua, Nicaragua, he met with his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chávez about the deepening of assistance brought by the PetroCaribe program, in the reconstruction of Haiti.
