NEW YORK, USA (defend.ht) - Monday, September 19, 2011. The President of the Republic, His Excellency, Mr. Michel Joseph Martelly, just participated in the meeting of Foreign Ministers of Partners of Haiti in New York, Monday, September 19, 2011. It is part of the 66th United Nations (UN) General Assembly. This important meeting was attended, among others, by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) President Luis Alberto Moreno, the former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Secretary General of the OAS, as well as foreign ministers of other partner countries, including France, Canada and the Dominican Republic. During this meeting, the President clearly defined the priorities of the Republic of Haiti which are, in particular, education, reconstruction and job creation and calls for an increase in the envelope. Some have renewed their commitment and promised an increase in their support. France has, for its part, opted for a more coherent and Haitianization of the reconstruction process. During the discussion, President Clinton said it took him 30 years of waiting to hear, finally, a Head of State of Haiti set with as much conviction and attention to detail to the priorities of his country. The intervention of the Head of State did not leave, either, indifferent, the delegation of Norway, which says it was pessimistic at first but came out optimistic following the report by the President. Sending new signals to the International and partners, regarding the renewal of Haiti and its ability to get out of the rut of underdevelopment, has always been a priority for President Martelly and he intends to continue this crusade. The meeting was, however, an opportunity for President Martelly to repeat his plea to obtain, partners, funds that were pledged to Haiti.
