Haiti-Mexico relations refers to the diplomatic relations between Haiti and Mexico. Both nations are members of Association of Caribbean States, Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, Organization of American States and the United Nations. == History == Haiti was the first Latin-American nation to gain independence in 1804 from France. This result inspired several nations in the region in their struggle for independence. Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. Consular relations between Haiti and Mexico were established in 1882 with formal diplomatic relations being established in 1929.〔(Bilateral relations between Mexico and Haiti (in Spanish) )〕 In 1934, a Mexican diplomatic office was opened in Port-au-Prince and in 1943 the diplomatic office was elevated to an embassy. That same year, Haiti opened an embassy in Mexico City.〔 Between the years 1957–1986, Haiti was ruled by President François Duvalier and later by his son, Jean-Claude Duvalier. During this time period, several high level Haitian politicians, students and activists sought refuge in the Mexican embassy in the capital including former politician and author, Gérard Pierre-Charles who spent 26 years living in Mexico.〔(Obituary: Gérard Pierre-Charles )〕 In February 1991, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide came to power. He was later toppled in a coup d'état in September 1991 and forced to flee the country. That same month, Aristide's Prime Minister René Préval sought refuge in the Mexican embassy where he remained for eleven months until being granted safe-conduct and fled to Mexico. René Préval would later become President of Haiti in February 1996 – 2001 and again in 2006 – 2011.〔(History of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Haiti (in Spanish) )〕 In 2014, there was an estimated community of 1,700 Haitian citizens residing in Mexico.〔(Entrevista con el embajador de Haití en México, Guy Lamothe, sobre la “nueva” migración haitiana (in Spanish) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haiti–Mexico relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
