"Dear compatriots,

I have the honor to inform you that my mission as Permanent Representative of Haiti in China is coming to an end. As I say goodbye to you, I take pleasure in confessing to you my admiration for the community, both students and Haitian professionals who have chosen to live in China.

To the students, I wish them success in their studies while inviting them to return to Haiti following their university studies. Your discipline, your determination make all of you true ambassadors and I am proud of it. I am leaving with a light heart after having done my best to accompany you, to help you, to listen to you. In short, for about a year, I shared your sorrows and your joys.

Thank you to all of you who allowed me to carry out my mission in China. Thank you to Haitian entrepreneurs established in China and who kindly offered their contribution to Haiti following the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Tribute to the Association of Haitian Students in China (AEHC) real cement between the students. Finally, thank you to those who understood like Anténor Firmin that 'our destiny is our own courage'," Ambassador Guy G. Lamothe.
