`Seek more global funds to fight HIV'

Our Bureau

New Delhi , Oct. 25

POINTING out the need to increase funds required to fight HIV/AIDS, India has suggested that various countries should form a pressure group to influence international funding at the forthcoming session of the World Economic Forum.

Suggesting a group on the lines of G-20 in the WTO, the Minister of State for Science and Technology, Mr Kapil Sibal, said at the meeting of the Science and Technology ministers under the India-Brazil-South Africa forum, that a core group of leaders of India, Brazil and South Africa would help in bringing other countries at the forefront on the issue.

He added that research should emphasise on development of vaccines to prevent the spread of AIDS.
