Yesterday Wednesday, Ambassador Thomas Shannon, Counselor of the Department of State, went to Haiti together with the Haiti Special Coordinator and Deputy Assistant Secretary, Kenneth Merten for a 48-hours visit.

The visit is part of ongoing efforts in Haiti, to try to complete the electoral process that will allow the installation of a new government and a new parliament to deal with other challenges Haiti faces.

In consultation with representatives of various sectors, Ambassador Shannon discussed the importance of Haiti as a longstanding partner of the United States and reiterated the broad nature of the bilateral relationship and support of the United States for Haiti's social, economic, and political development.
