Michel recalled the visit of Prime Minister Hubert Minnis to Haiti last year, during which he met with President Jovenel Moise, to discuss illegal migration and trade opportunities between the two countries recalling "Haiti and the Bahamas are two countries that have come together to work together and live together but also face the difficulties they are confronted [...] the trafficking of jobs... the illegal trafficking of firearms and human beings, drug trafficking and transnational crime... For this reason, these two governments must continue to work together."
