| PRIME MINISTER Patrick Manning's recent visit to Caracas was in an effort to get support from Venezuela for Caricom's position that there was need for an investigation by the United Nations into the circumstances surrounding the departure of former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
...Venezuelan diplomatic sources said: "The President listened to what Mr Manning had to say and indicated that Caricom could depend on his Government's support because Haiti was a member of Caricom and if the regional grouping felt there was a need for an investigation, then there should be one." Chavez subsequently released a statement calling for an investigation and has also decided to give US$1 million to aid Haiti. |
