Caricom holds meeting on Haiti readmission
The Caribbean Community and Common Market (Caricom) sent a technical assessment team to Port-au-Prince, Haiti for a meeting Sunday addressing the best way to reintegrate Haiti into the Caricom community, a report in the Miami Herald said.
Haiti was suspended from Caricom two years ago after member nations decided not to recognize the government created after the 2004 coup that forced out former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
The report said the team, headed by Caricom assistant secretary general Colin Granderson, met with members of Haitian President Rene Preval's administration to assess legislative, technical, regulatory, and administrative progress in the new government. Preval, the president from 1996 to 2001, was re-elected this year.
