Haitian soldiers to be trained in Mexico and Ecuador

A contingent of 30 Haitian soldiers recently left Port-au-Prince to undergo a training program in Ecuador and Mexico.

According to the Ministry of Defense the soldiers, of all rants in the Engineering Corps of the Armed Forces of Haiti left the country on Friday on board a Mexican Air Force plane for Temamatla, one of the 125 municipalities in Mexico.

The Ministry of Defense said the soldiers will follow an intensive course allowing them to become instructors and monitors in order to actively participate in the training of the next class of FAd’H soldiers.
