In his speech, the Head of State declared "The World Environment Day celebrated on June 5, challenges us on our shared responsibility to protect our ecosystem. Our willingness to protect our environment requires simple gestures and all behavior. My Administration remains committed to play its part to enable future generations to live in a healthier country. Pote kole pou sove anviwònman peyi a dwe yon sousi pou chak grenn Ayisyen. Nap fè l pou tèt nou, nap fè l pou timoun nou yo. Jounen mondyal Anviwònman 5 Jen, se okazyon pou nou pran angajman, chak moun nan sektè pa li, pou nou aji nan enterè anviwònman nou."
For his part, the new Minister of the Environment has indicated "Nou dwe mete tèt nou ansanm pou sove planèt. Jounen jodi a, sou tout latè ya n’ap fete anviwonman ki se youn nan chwal batay prezidan. Timoun peyi Dayiti se lespwa pou demen miyò, pwoteksyon ak reyabilitasyon anviwonman dwe kòmanse avèk yo. Kelkeswa sektè a, nou dwe mete tèt nou ansanm pou fè peyi a tounen sa’l te ye lontan an, yon peyi tou vèt."
