Haiti’s President Michel Martelly said he sees no sign Venezuela’s shipments of subsidized oil to Caribbean and Central American nations will end, and that his country would be the last to see the aid curbed in the case of cutbacks.
Haiti, the most impoverished country in the Americas, is recovering from a 2010 earthquake by attracting tourism and investment, Martelly said Thursday. The nation plans to continue scheduled debt payments, including to Venezuela, its biggest creditor, rather than follow the path of the Dominican Republic, which settled its debt this year.
