Minister of Defense Mario Andrésol met with the Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH), Vladimir Paraison, as well as the Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Gang Force (FRG), Erdenebat Batsuuri. Two members of the High Command of the Armed Forces of Haiti (FAd'H) accompanied the minister. This meeting took place in Port-au-Prince on November 9, 2026, and aimed to improve coordination between the forces engaged against armed groups.

The discussions focused on harmonizing interventions, aiming to optimize the use of available resources. The participants also examined the geographical deployment of units and discussed the protection of the country's strategic sites to ensure their security.

This meeting comes as approximately 2,000 Salvadoran soldiers are deployed in Haiti; according to the UN, most of them are not part of the FRG. The authorities are seeking to strengthen cooperation between the different forces in order to improve the effectiveness of operations and contribute to the restoration of security.
