Haiti foreign minister addresses OAS

Washington, CANA - Haiti's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph 
Philippe Antonio, said Wednesday that the troubled Caribbean nation 
was in a "search for a consensual solution of the crisis stemming from 
the elections of May 21, 2000". Antonio, who was addressing the 
Permanent Council of the Organisation of American States (OAS) here, 
presented a new calendar for legislative elections. The newly-appointed 
foreign minister noted that a number of measures had already been 
implemented in keeping with an eight-point plan of engagement to 
which President Jean Bertrand Aristide had committed himself in a letter 
to the United States last December 27.
