    ABIDJAN

    Japan has donated US $100,000 to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for initiatives to promote peace in West Africa, Voice of Nigeria radio reported on Thursday.

    Japanese Ambassador Takahesa Sasaki said the grant was in appreciation of ECOWAS' successes in regional conflict resolution. He said that since military conflicts were counterproductive and undermined development, it was necessary to support organizations such as ECOWAS, which dedicated themselves to conflict prevention and resolution, the radio reported.
