President Jovenel Moïse was honored this week by the American Chamber of Commerce in Haiti (AMCHAM) during a dinner held at the Hotel Karibe Convention Center.

The Head of State, on this occasion, thanked AMCHAM for the plaque of honor and hoped that the institution would continue to mobilize Haitians and their descendants living in the United States to become more involved in the economic life of their country of origin.

In his speech, President Moïse affirmed "Through the legislative agenda adopted jointly with both Houses of Parliament, my administration is beginning to implement the process of modernization of the State so that Haiti produces more, creates more wealth and enables each citizen to realize his full potential," adding that "The role of the private sector is crucial to improve Haiti's image on the international stage. It is at this price that the Haitian tourism industry will flourish to create jobs for the benefit of the Nation. The threshold of tolerance of this country in relation to the intolerable is simply intolerable. And, the intolerable can not be tolerated..."

The President also welcomed the efforts of the USA Chamber to enhance and promote Haiti's international potential and reiterated his commitment to significantly improve the business environment. The private business sector must, according to the Head of State "take its full responsibility in efforts to modernize the economy."
