The United States and Brazil are to meet on the margins of the G20 foreign ministers meeting in Brazil to discuss the ongoing situation in Haiti.
Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stéphane Dujarric told a press briefing that Thursday's meeting is intended to generate momentum for the Multinational Security Support mission for Haiti, that was approved by the UN Security Council.
He said UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, who is due in Brazil to attend the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting, will participate in the high-level meeting, which will be held under the theme "Rising to the Challenge on Haiti".
Mr. Dujarric said Ms. Mohammed will underscore the urgent need to provide security and other support to Haiti to help it deal with a pressing and worsening crisis of violence and instability.
She will also stress the importance of predictable and sufficient financial contributions for the multinational security force.
Last month, the Kenya High Court ruled against sending troops to Haiti as part of the Multinational Security Support mission to restore peace and security.
