Whilst perusing old issues of Haiti Sun via the Digital Library of the Caribbean, we came across some interesting articles mentioning Haiti-Peru relations. Although it is a topic we hope to revisit at at later date, we found it intriguing to see press coverage of Haiti's relations with this important Andean nation. In the first picture, Ade, Haiti's envoy, presents his credentials to the Peruvian president, Odria, in 1950.
In the second picture, from a 1956 article in the same newspaper, Perez Saez, the Peruvian ambassador to Haiti, is featured. Peru was in the Haitian journal because of celebrations of Peruvian independence that took place in Petionville. We would like to explore relations between the two nations, extending back as far as possible. Haiti's historical relations with South American countries is often ignored except for the contributions of Haitians to Bolivar and independence movements. What happened after that?
