The OLADE's' Executive Secretariat has expressed its gratitude to the Haitian authorities for their support during the mission and deep appreciation to the delegations of Cuba, Ecuador and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. These delegations have already provided active support to the government of Haiti and have decided to join efforts with OLADE as a regional organization, during this mission. It is also worth mentioning the good will expressed by of all OLADE's Member Countries to support the various cooperation activities with Haiti.
