Haiti – OAS: Soon, a Visit from the OAS Secretary General to Strengthen Regional Cooperation

Port-au-Prince – October 15, 2025 — The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), the Surinamese Albert Ramdin, whose mandate began on May 26, 2025, will make an official visit to Haiti at the end of the month. This mission comes at a crucial time, as the country prepares to welcome a multinational force aimed at combating rampant insecurity.

This working visit is directly in line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2793, which greenlit the deployment of the Gang Repression Force (FRG). This force will be composed of 5,500 international police and military personnel.

According to diplomatic sources, Mr. Ramdin's main objective is to meet with Haitian authorities to strengthen regional cooperation and ensure the OAS's political support for this sensitive mission. Discussions will focus on security coordination and the support needed to restore public order.

The mandate of this force is clear: to support the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Haitian armed forces, currently overwhelmed, in their fight against armed groups that terrorize the population and control vast areas of the territory, particularly the capital.

Albert Ramdin's visit is therefore seen as a key step to finalize preparations and ensure synergy between international action and local authorities, with a major objective: the lasting stabilization and security of Haiti.
