The MAEC opens a new headquarters in Pétion-Ville

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship (MAEC) officially inaugurated its new facilities in Pétion-Ville on Thursday, January 15, 2026, 16 years after losing its headquarters in the January 12, 2010 earthquake. The ceremony, which brought together several high-ranking government officials, representatives of the diplomatic corps, and international partners, marks a symbolic step in Haiti's institutional and diplomatic reconstruction process. Held on Rue Mangonès in Pétion-Ville, the event was attended by leading figures of the Haitian state, including the President of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), Laurent Saint-Cyr, several advisors, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship, Jean-Victor Harvel Jean-Baptiste. Diplomats accredited to Haiti and representatives of international organizations also participated in the ceremony.
