Caracas commemorates Haiti's Flag Day with an offering to the Liberator Simón Bolívar

Haiti's Flag Day is celebrated every May 18th to commemorate the creation of the national flag in 1803.

On the occasion of Haiti's Flag Day, diplomatic authorities from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Caribbean nation laid a floral offering this Tuesday before the sarcophagus that holds the mortal remains of the Liberator Simón Bolívar in the National Pantheon, in Caracas.

The ceremony was led by the Haitian ambassador accredited to Venezuela, Jean Mary Vaval, and the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Caribbean, Raúl Li Causi, accompanied by representatives of the Diplomatic Corps accredited in the country.

Haiti's Flag Day is celebrated every May 18th to commemorate the creation of the national flag in 1803, during the Congress of Arcahaie, marking a key milestone in the struggle for independence and the creation of the world's first Afro-descendant republic.

It is one of the most important national holidays for the Haitian people, celebrated with pride both within the country and in diaspora communities around the world.

Relations between Venezuela and Haiti have a long history of cooperation and mutual support. From Pétion's historic aid to Bolívar to the Petrocaribe energy agreements and humanitarian assistance following the 2010 earthquake, both countries have cultivated an alliance based on solidarity.
