Joint Statement from the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on Haiti, held in Paris on November 9–10, 2026.

Excerpt from the joint statement regarding Haiti :

"[...]

We have supported and welcomed the renewal of the mandate of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) until the end of March 2027, which aims to assist Haitian forces in restoring security and stability in Haiti. We also welcomed the renewal of the United Nations sanctions regime, which seeks to ensure that individuals and entities threatening peace, security, and stability in Haiti are held accountable. We called upon the international community to support the strengthening of the Haitian National Police and the Armed Forces of Haiti, the rule of law, and the fight against impunity. Furthermore, we urged all security actors present in Haiti to prioritize the protection of Haitian civilians in all of their security operations.

We underscored the importance of holding democratic elections in Haiti and took note of the postponement of the first round of elections to July 2027. While acknowledging the progress made by the Government and the Provisional Electoral Council in their efforts to move Haiti toward elected governance, we emphasized the need to preserve the credibility and integrity of the electoral process, and stressed the responsibility of the Haitian authorities to ensure the full and impartial implementation of the electoral decree. We have called for concrete results that will strengthen public confidence in the electoral process and contribute to the credibility of the return to democratic governance.

We have urged the international community to increase its financial contributions to the United Nations trust fund, as the success of the UN-mandated hybrid mission depends on sustained multilateral support to fund its operations. We have called on the international community to provide essential support for humanitarian aid in Haiti, in order to address the multiple crises facing the Haitian people.

Furthermore, we have emphasized the importance of laying the groundwork for Haiti’s economic recovery, with the assistance of international financial institutions and other multilateral partners. We have welcomed the pact concluded between the World Bank and the Haitian authorities, which provides a common framework for assessing reform efforts led by the Haitian authorities and for strengthening accountability for the results achieved. We have committed to working with a diverse range of Haitian and international partners to promote greater cooperation and complementarity of efforts [...]"
