Ja: Make up your mind, Latortue

Haiti's interim prime minister, Gerard Latortue, who had declared a freeze on his country's participation in the Caribbean Community, now wants to attend this week's summit of regional leaders in St Kitts, Community officials have confirmed.

Last night, Jamaica said Latortue would be welcomed in Basseterre, the St Kitts capital, to discuss the political process in Haiti, but made clear that he was unlikely to have a full seat at the regional table until Caricom leaders take a decision on the recognition of his government.
