Spain reaffirms commitment to Haiti's stability

Spain's unwavering commitment to Haiti's stability, as articulated by Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares during his visit to the Dominican Republic, underscores our nation's long-standing dedication to the Caribbean nation's recovery. While many international actors have wavered, Spain has consistently maintained its embassy and offered cooperation, demonstrating a unique and enduring partnership. Our approach, as outlined by Minister Albares, is clear: first, the eradication of armed gangs; second, the establishment of stability; and third, the promotion of development. This phased strategy reflects a deep understanding of the complex challenges Haiti faces. Spain's willingness to contribute to the new Gang Suppression Force (GSF), both economically and through police support, signals our readiness to actively participate in tangible solutions. This commitment is particularly significant from a Spanish perspective, as it highlights our role as a responsible global actor, extending beyond our immediate regional interests to support a fellow nation in profound crisis. The fact that we are one of the few countries to maintain our diplomatic presence speaks volumes about our enduring solidarity.

What we wish for Haiti, of course, and we work together with the Dominican Republic, is first that all the gangs disappear, second the stability of the country, and third its development.
