Movement of Diplomatic Personnel within the Haitian Chancery

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces the rotation of some of its officials from external and central services for over a week. According to a statement from the MAEC, this measure aims for two objectives: on the one hand, the strengthening of the 11 strategic directorates of the central services; and on the other hand, the more rational use of available human resources in the 53 diplomatic missions and consular posts.

“More than 55 officials from central services with between 10 and 30 years of experience have been promoted or transferred to external services based on meritocracy and seniority,” specifies the MAEC.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also takes the opportunity to announce the regularization process for all its contract employees, in accordance with the OMRH, totaling 229, including the integration of 28 new diplomats from the Hannibal Price 2023-2025 class of the Jean Price Mars Diplomatic Academy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states its intention to continue implementing the modernization plan for Haitian diplomacy across several projects, notably the adoption and publication of the new framework decree concerning the organization and functioning of the Ministry; the adoption and publication of the decree governing diplomatic and consular careers; as well as the improvement of working conditions for its officials.

The creation of strategic regional hubs, based on geopolitical interests, as well as the adoption and publication of the decree concerning the issuance and use of diplomatic and official passports, are among the projects of the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean Victor Harvel Jean Baptiste.
