Kenya will deploy 600 additional police officers to Haiti to help tackle gangs controlling Port-au-Prince and nearby areas, bringing the total Kenyan force in the country to 1,000.
President William Ruto, during a visit, praised the progress made by the Kenyan police and promised better equipment.
Ruto supports turning the Kenya-led mission into a full UN peacekeeping operation, a decision the UN Security Council will discuss later this month.
Despite some progress, violence remains widespread in Haiti, and a UN expert emphasized the need for more equipment to counter the growing gang threat.
