<p>The UK remains concerned by the deteriorating security situation in Haiti that
exacerbates pre-existing humanitarian and economic crises. I [Minister Rutley] have
engaged significantly on this issue, discussing it with regional and international
partners over many months. I most recently engaged with Caribbean partners during
my attendance at the CARICOM Heads of Government meeting in Guyana on 26 February,
where I discussed concerns about - and options to respond to - the security situation
in Haiti with interlocuters. The UK strongly supported the UN Resolution to authorise
a Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) to Haiti. And on 9 April, in his press
conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the Foreign Secretary announced
that the UK would be providing over £5m to the MSS.</p>
