Quito, November 10(RHC) -- Visiting Haitian President Michel Martelly met Monday in Quito with his Ecuadorian counterpart Rafael Correa, with whom he discussed strengthened bilateral cooperation in several areas, including education, transport and migration.

Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño wrote on his Twitter account that although the Haitian head of state arrived in Ecuador on Sunday, his official visit begins Monday with a meeting with President Correa at the Government Palace.
