Excerpt from the Prime Minister's speech :

"On behalf of the Government, on behalf of the Haitian people and on my own behalf, I would be grateful if you would convey to your families, to your respective governments and to the leaders of your organizations, our best wishes for the year 2023. May the year of grace 2023 be a year that sees peace return to all conflict zones around the world.

[...] I thank the Secretary General of the United Nations for relaying to the Security Council our request for assistance from a specialized force to accompany our National Police.

We hope that, in the near future, this multinational support force for the PNH can be at work. We appreciate the support of the international community, which has confirmed its commitment to guide us in the search for a lasting solution to the crisis by taking the initiative to sanction those who support armed gangs and engage in illicit trafficking of all kinds.

[...] We have the will and the firm determination to make 2023 the year of elections, which will allow us to restore our democratic institutions and to return the leadership of the country to elected officials freely chosen by the Haitian people.

I launch a final appeal to those who believe in democratic values, to join this national compromise which must lead us towards a transfer of power to elected officials at different levels of the State."
