CARICOM Envoy suggests measures for rebirth of Haiti

Patterson KINGSTON, Jamaica, February 8, 2010 – Special Envoy on Haiti Disaster Relief, former Jamaican Prime Minister P. J. Patterson, has suggested several long term measures for the rebuilding of the earthquake ravaged nation, Haiti, which he says will ensure the rebirth of the country.

"Simply putting back what was there before the earthquake will not be enough," he said, adding that a "renaissance, the rebirth of a new Haiti on the economic side, the social side, in terms of human development and in terms of the environment" should be developed.

Patterson was addressing journalists at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, following a Caribbean Community (CARICOM) mission to Haiti.
