CARICOM Statement on the violent attack on building housing Jamaica’s Consulate in Haiti

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) notes with deep concern the report that the Sun Auto Car Dealership in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, owned and operated by the Honorary Consul for our Member State, Jamaica, and which houses the Consulate, was set ablaze and ransacked by criminal gangs on Monday 12 June 2023.

This act of violence has sadly caused the indefinite suspension of consular services offered by the Government of Jamaica.

CARICOM strongly condemns this and other such acts which cause damage to property and people.

The Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM remains deeply committed to ongoing dialogue and other efforts towards a Haitian-led solution to the ongoing crisis in our sister country, Haiti.
