In Haiti, Haïti Liberté and Le Nouvelliste newspapers as well as Radio Tête à Tête are reporting on new agreements for social and economic development that have been reached between the governments of Haiti, Cuba and Venezuela.

According to Radio Tête à Tête, meetings of Haiti Foreign Minister Laurent Lamothe with Cuban Ambassador to Haiti Ricardo Garcia Napoles and Venezuelan Ambassador Pedro Antonio Canino Gonzalez on March 1, 2012 discussed electricity generation and measures to combat deforestation.

Venezuela and Cuba will assist in doubling electricity generation at two existing power plants, in Cap Haitien, Haiti's second largest city, and Carrefour, a district of Port au Prince. Generation will double in Cap Haitien from 15 mw to 30 and in Carrefour from 30 mw to 60 mw.

Those two power stations as well as a third in the city of Gonaives were constructed with Venezuelan assistance in 2007.

Minister Lamothe said the meeting discussed installing a 15 mw station at Jacmel and two to three additional stations. Cuba will continue to assist with maintenance of mobile generator units and installation of new ones.

Good for them! How refreshing is it to see countries genuinely caring for the welfare of one another?

2. I'm glad to read this!

Haiti has been battered by natural disasters and by both industrialised nations and entities like the IMF. It's great to see neighbours helping!
