Haiti's election preparation and regional diplomacy

Overview
In early July, Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils‑Aimé traveled to Saint Lucia to attend the CARICOM heads‑of‑state summit. The meeting emphasized regional security, economic integration, climate resilience and governance, and served as an opportunity for Haiti to deepen diplomatic ties and seek support amid its ongoing political and humanitarian crises.
Later in July, the Prime Minister convened senior officials, security forces, the provisional Electoral Council and international partners at the National Palace to coordinate the implementation of the June 2 2026 electoral decree. He highlighted the urgent need for security to ensure free and credible elections, pledged to mobilise state resources, and underscored that stable democracy is essential for lasting legitimacy in Haiti.
