"The Head of State wishes to thank the members of government, civil society, parliamentarians, religious organizations and the Haitian people at large for their unconditional support and renews his determination to make greater efforts to resume his work on behalf of the well-being of the population as soon as possible," Haiti's National Palace said in a statement.
