Haiti’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially relocated to a modern 12-story facility in Pétion-Ville, marking a significant upgrade in the nation’s diplomatic infrastructure. The newly acquired Gala Tower at 15 Rue Mangonès, previously owned by a senior ministry official, now serves as the central hub for Haiti’s international relations operations.
The inauguration ceremony on January 15, 2026, gathered Haiti’s highest-ranking officials including Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, Chancellor Jean-Victor Harvel Jean-Baptiste, and members of the Presidential Transitional Council. The event also drew former ministers, senior civil servants, and representatives from the diplomatic corps, creating a solemn atmosphere befitting the occasion.
Laurent Saint-Cyr, President pro tempore and Coordinator of the Transitional Council, delivered a keynote address emphasizing the institutional significance of the new chancellery. He articulated a vision for transforming the space into a strategic decision-making center operating on principles of ethics, performance, and national interest. Saint-Cyr called for a revitalized Haitian diplomacy characterized by proactive engagement, inclusivity, and sharper focus on national priorities. He further advocated for strengthened international partnerships and greater inclusion of women and young professionals in diplomatic service.
The property acquisition, whose financial details remain undisclosed, provides the ministry with facilities that meet international embassy standards. This upgrade enables Haiti to host foreign dignitaries and government officials in appropriate settings while offering improved service delivery to citizens requiring consular assistance.
