Leaders of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) convened in Kingston, Jamaica, to address the escalating security crisis in Haiti. Following the meeting, Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced in a video message that his government would resign upon the establishment of a transitional council. Expressing gratitude to the people of Haiti, he urged calm and collaboration for a swift restoration of peace. CARICOM Chairman Irfaan Ali accepted Henry’s resignation, emphasizing the agreement on forming an interim presidential council and appointing an interim prime minister.

The situation in Haiti has been marked by chaos since Prime Minister Henry’s departure to Nairobi on February 29. Gang-led unrest, including prison raids resulting in casualties and mass escapes, prompted a 72-hour state of emergency and curfew. With ongoing violence and gangs controlling a significant part of Port Au Prince, Prime Minister Henry, currently in Puerto Rico, remains unable to return due to security concerns.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.

Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.

Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.

Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
