[China News Service]Port-au-Prince news: The new Haitian government was established on the 20th local time, with Ariel Henry as prime minister.
Ariel Henry is 71 years old and a former neurosurgeon. From 2015 to 2016, he served as Minister of the Interior and Minister of Social Affairs and Labor of Haiti. The then President Moise of Haiti signed the appointment on July 5 this year, with Ariel Henry as the new prime minister, succeeding then Prime Minister Claude Joseph. However, the inauguration ceremony of the new prime minister, originally scheduled to be held on the 7th, was cancelled due to the assassination of Moise in the early hours of the same day.
Relevant media reports said that the inauguration ceremony of the new government was held in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, in the afternoon of the same day. Several positions including the Minister of Finance and Economics of the new government are still held by former cabinet members. At the inauguration ceremony, Ariel Henry observed a one-minute silence for Moiz before giving a speech. He pointed out that Haiti has been fighting against illegal acts of violence. The government will work hard to create suitable conditions to facilitate more voters to actively participate in related election activities to be held in September. “Now is the time to strive for unity and stability,” he said.
