With deep gratitude and renewed hope, we gather today to ceremonially hand over equipment to the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Haitian Armed Forces (FADH) (…) This donation is more than a material contribution; it is an expression of the sincere and enduring friendship between Haiti and Taiwan, two countries with a history of struggle for freedom, dignity, and democracy. With this act, Taiwan reaffirms its concern for our common pursuit of security and development.”
Gu Wenjian explained in his speech: “(…) Each kit includes: a bulletproof helmet, a bulletproof vest that meets international ballistic standards, pockets for various magazines and a radio, a balaclava, cut-resistant gloves, protective glasses and tactical knee pads.”
