· Support entrepreneurs and promote innovation.
· Create “strategic corridors” to connect the Caribbean market to the African market.
· Connect SMEs from both sides and secure investments.
· Develop academic exchanges and strengthen economic diplomacy. “This chamber is more than a mission; it is a movement, it is a concrete commitment to the economic autonomy of our peoples in a world where challenges are numerous,” insisted Ms. Aline Nathalie Wakam Cyprien. She reiterated that South-South cooperation is not a mere concept, but “an absolute necessity” for nations that now refuse to be “spectators of this globalization” and intend to become “the architect of a prosperous future.” A Message of Hope and Sovereignty This commitment was supported by Dr. Cyprien Price, who delivered a powerful message on the necessity of patriotic governance: “Haiti can still shine with patriotic leaders who think of their country.” The CCIHA aligns with this vision, proposing a path of development through solidarity, entrepreneurship, and the reappropriation of Haitian and African economic destiny. By officially establishing its existence on November 28, 2025, and detailing its vision, the Haitian-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry lays the first stone of a structure destined to redefine the place of Haiti and Africa in the global geoeconomy. The economic and diplomatic world now observes with attention the realization of this promising bridge between two sister lands, united by history and now by a common future project.
