Former minister wants CARICOM role in Haiti

Roseau, Dominica, CANA - A former Dominican government minister 
is supporting the need for the Caribbean Community and Common 
Market (CARICOM) to maintain a leading role in resolving the political 
situation in Haiti. 

Charles Maynard, who has also served as a tourism consultant to Haiti, 
said CARICOM and Haiti both stand to gain from reaching a resolution 
in the dispute over legislative elections last year, and Haiti should be 
given priority on CARICOM's agenda. "I am happy that CARICOM 
continues to be engaged, and in other words to make their 
resourcefulness available with that of the Haitians to find a common 
solution," he told the Caribbean News Agency (CANA).
