Japan will host an international symposium early next month to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation in the fight against AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
The symposium will be held Oct. 2 at Keio University in Tokyo's Minato Ward under the joint sponsorship of the Foreign Ministry and the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, government officials said Thursday.
Participants will include former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, former Ugandan Health Minister Dr. Chrispus Kiyonga, and Dr. Peter Piot, executive director of UNAIDS, a Geneva-based body affiliated with the United Nations.
