Haiti Wants French on CARICOM Agenda

Haiti Wants French on CARICOM Agenda
July 5, 2012

Haiti President Michel Martelly wants French to have a place on the Caribbean Community’s agenda.

The Caribbean Community is only economic integration scheme in which English is the only official language, he said, and French should be accepted as an official CARICOM language.

With more than 55 percent of CARICOM’s population speaking French or Creole, and Haitians speaking more than 50 percent of CARICOM’s population, Martelly said the impact of language is a important in the conduct of negotiations and in the integration process.

Accordingly, Haiti is seeking for the language issue to be placed on the agenda of the next meeting of the Intergovernmental Group on the Revision of [the CARICOM] Treaty.

He made a similar call at his first CARICOM meeting in the summer of 2010.

Martelly, who is attending this week’s Meeting of Heads of Government in Castries, St Lucia, continues to favour the policy of integration, according to a statement from the National Palace.

The Haitian leader said he wanted to show the summit what he called the “new climate of political stability” in Haiti, something he said put the country in a better position to deal on equal terms with its partners.

But that integration must have “palpable” benefits to Haiti, and meet the needs of the Haitian people, he said.

Poukisa FRANSE an? alòs lòt peyi tankou SENTLISI ,DOMINICA elt..ap mande pou KREYÒL paske yo vle prezève KREYÒL lan ti peyi yo.
Nèg sa yo malad ;ti gwoup sa a ,ou pa fouti konprann yo.Eske se paske yo pa bay lang KREYÒL lan plas li merite lan pwòp peyi yo?
SUSAN ERLICH te ekri atik sa a sou KREYÒL lan KIBA .Se te an 1998 .Manmzèl di ke 400 mil KIBEN pale ou konprann KREYÒL ;nonm lan alawos.Jodi an yo estime ke 10% popilasyon KIBEN an ;sa vle di plis ke 1 milyon KIBEN swa pale ,swa konprann KREYÒL.Se dezyèm lang lan KIBA men nèg ann AYITI yo se bayo FRANSE yo.

Yo di se 2 lang peyi an genyen ;KREYÒL ak FRANSE.Sitou premye minis SENTLISI an te an bon KREYÒL te swete MATELI BYENVINI lan konferans KARIKÒM lan.
