CTN News

As part of the healthy cooperation between Haiti and Japan, the National Police has benefited from a batch of rolling stock from the Japanese government.
It is about 3 tankers for firefighters, 3 ambulances and a truck that will be used to transport equipment. A donation amounting to 571 thousand U.S. dollars.
uring the ceremony of handing over these machines, on December 21, the Minister of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), Mr. Berto Dorcé, welcomed the good health of relations between the two countries.

For him, this aid will contribute to the strengthening of the PNH, which is facing a serious lack of equipment to accomplish its mission. However, he pleaded in favor of training sessions for Haitian technicians in order to be able to repair any breakdowns that may affect these vehicles, adding that their parts are not available on the Haitian market.
Speaking on the occasion, the director general of the PNH, Frantz Elbé, presented his thanks to the Japanese ambassador accredited in Haiti, Yuji Kubo, asking him to transmit them to his government.
On December 17, during the ceremony of the 31st promotion of the PNH, Prime Minister Ariel Henry had called on the so-called friendly countries of Haiti to contribute to the strengthening of the police institution instead of a new intervention of foreign troops on the national territory.
