The Secretary-General of the OAS, Albert Ramdin, is expected in Port-au-Prince this Sunday for a ‘very high-level visit’ that is set to last three days, Le Nouvelliste learned from diplomatic sources on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. ‘Yes, he is expected in Port-au-Prince on Sunday. He is scheduled to leave on Wednesday. It will be a very high-level visit led by the OAS Secretary-General. There will be representatives from CARICOM and other technical partners in finance and justice,’ our source explained, noting that this visit comes ‘somewhat ahead of the upcoming elections.’Discussions are planned with sectoral ministries, the PNH, and the CEP. A visit to the gang suppression force is also planned “to assess the progress,” our source said. On the sidelines of the fifty-sixth regular session of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), held in Panama in June, Mr. Ramdin met with Haiti’s Foreign Minister, Raina Forbin. According to a statement from the OAS Secretary General on June 22, there was a constructive exchange on the situation in Haiti and the prospects ahead.
“Our discussion reaffirmed the importance of sustained, coordinated, and concrete support for the Haitian people during this crucial time. The transition in Haiti must succeed in order to serve as a bridge to restoring security, building trust in institutions, returning to constitutional order, and holding credible, inclusive, and peaceful elections,according to this statement.The Organization of American States remains committed to supporting efforts led by Haitians themselves to stabilize the country, strengthen democratic institutions, and create the conditions that allow the Haitian people to freely choose their leaders. This requires progress on security, a sense of political responsibility, ongoing attention to humanitarian needs, institutional strengthening, and a clear commitment from all stakeholders, according to this statement.
