The diplomatic corps, almost in its entirety, participated in the inauguration of the Transitional Presidential Council. Representatives from the United States, France, Canada, Brazil, and the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, among others, were noticed at the ceremony, which was conducted under tight security. Le Nouvelliste was able to speak with the UN Special Representative, Maria Isabel Salvador, the US Ambassador, Dennis B. Hankins, and the Canadian Ambassador, André François Giroux.

Speaking to Le Nouvelliste, Maria Isabel Salvador, who is also the head of BINUH in Haiti, maintains that this installation is a new opportunity to advance towards the restoration of democratic institutions. "This will facilitate the political process and make progress on the enormous tasks that remain to be done and must be done. Security needs to be restored. As long as there is no security, it will be difficult for any government to make progress. At the United Nations level, we continue to ask other member states to contribute to the Security Support Mission," said Salvador, emphasizing the crucial importance of restoring security.
