CaribWorldNews, PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Tues. July 7, 2009: Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, is set to kick-off a three day visit to Haiti today.
It will be his first as the United Nations' special envoy to the Caribbean country. Clinton is expected to meet with Haitian President Rene Preval and visit hurricane-battered areas.
It comes just over four months after he toured Port-au-Prince with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, recording artist Wyclef Jean and others in March. He was named to the newly created post in May.
As U.N. envoy, he has insisted that his goals include investment and job creation for Haitians and repairing Haiti's severe deforestation which has contributed to fatal floods in the country.
