On Thursday, May 6, the Ambassador of Haiti accredited to Japan, Helph Monod Honorat received a courtesy visit from the new Resident Representative of the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Hisanao Noda, before his departure for Haiti.

The two men shared their views on strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries as well as on the fact that JICA must continue and strengthen its efforts to support the Haitian Government in the process of rebuilding the country through projects of technical cooperation, the dispatch of experts and volunteers and the financing of development.

This program will be extended to other Haitian universities.
