Taiwan Foreign Minister David Yung-Lo is continuing his Caribbean tour with a trip to Haiti.
The country’s top diplomat, joined by a Taiwanese delegation, met Wednesday with Haiti President Michel Martelly in Port-au-Prince.
His visit to the country follows trips to St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia and St Kitts and Nevis.
Yung-Lo is on a two-day visit to Haiti.
His tour follows a visit to Haiti by Taiwan’s Vice President, Wu Den-Yih, in August 2012.
A number of Haitians are currently studying at universities in Taiwan, which has said it is committed to furthering reconstruction in the country, particularly Haiti’s energy sector.
