Is "Mwen kontan rekonèt ou." the same as "Mwen kontan rankontre ou." do both rekonet and rankontre have the same exact meaning.. "to meet"??

Rankontre means to meet with, to bump into, to cross path with
Rekonèt means to get acquainted with, to come to know, to be associated with

But, you are right. Haitians, sometimes, do use these two phrases synonymously.
"Mwen kontan rekonèt ou" means "I'm happy to make your acquaintance."
"Mwen kontan rankontre w" means "I'm happy to cross path with you."
