PRESS CONFERENCE BY MINISTER FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION OF CANADA (220 words) |
 | Canada would commit some $73 million for HIV/AIDS programming in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and Central and Eastern Europe, Maria Minna, Minister for International Cooperation of Canada, announced today at a Headquarters press conference being held in conjunction with the special session of the General Assembly on HIV/AIDS. |
 | Last fall, Canada had made a commitment to quadruple to $270 million by 2005 its funding for international cooperation programmes dedicated to fighting the disease, she said. Today’s announcement was an important step towards fulfilling her Government’s broader commitment to fighting the pandemic. |
 | Those funds would go to programmes that would begin immediately, she noted in response to another question. She pointed out that programmes tended to run for two to four years. |
