On Monday, November 9, 2026, Minister of Defense Mario Andrésol accompanied by two members of the High Command of the Armed Forces of Haiti (FAd’H) presided over a significant working meeting with Vladimir Paraison, Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH), and Major General Erdenebat Batsuuri, Commander-in-Chief of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF).

The meeting focused on strengthening coordination and harmonizing the interventions of the various forces engaged in operations against terrorist groups throughout the country.

Discussions centered on developing joint strategies to improve operational effectiveness, foster greater complementarity among deployed units, and ensure more consistent action in the field.

The geographical distribution of forces across various operational theaters was also a key topic, with the goal of ensuring better coverage of intervention zones and more efficient use of operational resources.

Furthermore, participants examined measures to bolster security at the country’s strategic sites, as part of a concerted effort to protect infrastructure and facilities of national importance.

Against a backdrop that includes the deployment of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) and more than 2,000 Salvadoran military personnel in Haiti, this consultation reflects the commitment of the relevant authorities to consolidate coordination among the various forces involved and to strengthen the coherence of the national security apparatus.
