Former US president to launch new world AIDS campaign

    JOHANNESBURG

    Former US President Bill Clinton is to launch a new initiative next month to tackle international problems, such as HIV/AIDS and poverty.

    The annual 'Clinton Global Initiative' will engage world leaders, politicians, business leaders and celebrities in global challenges and encourage them to commit to taking concrete action during the following year.

    In a statement Clinton noted that "by identifying specific ways to address the challenges of our time, I believe the Clinton Global Initiative will prove to be a unique and useful forum for leaders and communities around the world".

    The first meeting is scheduled to take place from 15 to 17 September in New York city and will focus on poverty, corruption, climate change, and religious and ethnic reconciliation.
