Haiti’s Political Class Welcomes Spain’s Queen Sofia

No matter how much is being said about the diplomatic relations between Spain and Haiti, Spain was the leading one to extend help to the affected people at the time of crisis that struck Haiti after earthquake in January 2010.

On the same line, a visit was made by Spain's Queen Sofia to monitor the results of the aid being given to the Caribbean nation after two years. It has been officially confirmed by the Office of U. N. Special Envoy that Spain has committed $359.7 million for 2010 and 2011 in the direction of rebuilding the disaster- struck nation.

As Queen Sofia landed, a list of esteemed personalities was seen receiving the royal personality. Among all were Haitian President Michel Martelly and first lady Sophia Martelly, who met her as the National Palace band started national anthems of both the countries. Though media was avoided, the lady seemed to have taken aback by the response she got at the airport.

It has been confirmed that during the two-day visit, the Queen would see the progress being made in projects started by the Spanish Government in collaboration with her own charity.

While it has been confirmed that the hosts had all words of thanks for the Queen, it’s being believed that this visit could help in drafting all in all a new story for the two countries in future.
