CDB opens office in Haiti

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) last Friday officially opened its Country Office in Haiti, the first outside its headquarters in Barbados.

To commemorate the occasion, Dr William Warren Smith, president of the CDB, hosted an inauguration event attended by First Lady of the Republic of Haiti, Martine Moise, ministers of government; and representatives of the diplomatic community in Haiti.

"The opening of the new country office here is timely, as we seek to advance Haiti's development and to assist with its further integration into the Caribbean Community," said Smith during the event.
