Haiti’s Presidential Council visits US Base construction site

Santo Domingo.- Members of Haiti’s Presidential Council visited the construction site of a base being built by the United States to accommodate international officers who will assist the Haitian police, according to a statement from the council.

“The advisors inspected the construction progress of the Multinational Force base in the airport area. They sought to assess the advancement of the infrastructure, crucial for hosting the international force deployed to aid the PNH in restoring internal security,” the presidential body stated.

During the visit, council members engaged with construction officials to understand the project’s status and completion timeline.

“They also toured the site to observe the arrangements made for accommodating the international force members. This included inspecting dormitories, medical facilities, cafeterias, and other spaces designed to cater to foreign soldiers,” the council noted.

Photos shared by the transition council depicted various-sized containers and prepared camps for the incoming agents.

In mid-April, US military aircraft started arriving at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in the Haitian capital, transporting supplies and civilian contractors required for constructing the base.
