Friday, April 28, 2023, as prelude to the celebration of World Freedom Day (this May 3rd), Mrs. Émmelie Prophète Milcé, the Minister of Communication was received at the United States Embassy in Port-au-Prince by the Chargé d'Affaires, Éric W. Stromayer, as part of a ceremony organized to welcome a group of 24 Haitian journalist with scholarships who were recently trained at the Voice of America in Washington, United States .

This event was an opportunity for Minister Prophète Milcé to emphasize the importance of freedom of expression in the functioning of any democratic State.
