Pres. Preval tries to build bridges
Haiti's President, Rene Preval, has been holding consultations with politicians and potential candidates for the Senate and lower chamber in an effort to garner support to secure a majority in Congress.
Mr. Preval was declared winner of the presidential elections last week.
And a former regional diplomat is urging caution as the Caribbean moves to re-admit Haiti.
Former Antigua and Barbuda high commissioner, Sir Ronald Saunders, supports the re-entry of Haiti into the Caribbean Community (Caricom), however he does not believe that Haiti is ready to be a member of the Caricom Single Market.
