Chile's Ambassador to the United States, Gabriel Valdes, presented to former Haitian Prime Minister Gerard Latortue the "Orden al merito de Chile". It was for helping organize and run free, inclusive, and transparent elections in February 2006, ending the interim government that had ruled since February 2004 when then-President Aristide was overthrown.

Latortue served as provisional head of government from 2004 until 2006. A peaceful transition followed the 2006 election with Jacques-Edouard Alexis succeeding Latortue.
