中新社多伦多3月14日电 (记者 余瑞冬)面对海地当前的动荡局势，加拿大政府14日宣布将该国驻海地大使馆人员暂时减少至仅保留必要人手。
加拿大外交部在一份声明中表示，鉴于海地安全形势的恶化，加拿大决定缩减其驻海地大使馆的外交人员规模。此举旨在确保外交官和当地员工的安全，同时保持加拿大在海地的基本外交存在。声明中并未透露具体撤离人员的数量和身份，但强调这是一个预防性措施，加拿大将继续密切关注当地局势，并在必要时调整其外交部署。
海地自去年以来，政治和经济危机不断恶化，社会治安状况急剧恶化，绑架勒索案件频发。联合国和多个国家已经发出警告，称海地正处于人道主义灾难的边缘。

TORONTO, March 14 (Xinhua) — The Canadian government announced on Monday that it is temporarily reducing the number of staff at its embassy in Haiti due to the deteriorating security situation in the country.
In a statement, Global Affairs Canada said that the decision to scale back its diplomatic presence in Haiti is aimed at ensuring the safety of Canadian personnel and local staff, while maintaining a basic diplomatic presence in the country. The statement did not provide details on the number of staff being withdrawn or their identities, but emphasized that the move is a precautionary measure and that Canada will continue to monitor the situation closely and adjust its diplomatic deployment as necessary.
Haiti has been grappling with political and economic crises, as well as a sharp deterioration in security, since last year, with a rise in kidnappings and other criminal activities. The United Nations and several countries have issued warnings that Haiti is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster.
Global Affairs Canada advised Canadian citizens in Haiti to exercise a high degree of caution and follow the instructions of local authorities. It also called on the international community to work together to help stabilize and secure Haiti.
