Department for International Development (DFID) Ministers and officials maintain an extensive dialogue with key international partners. I have recently discussed AIDS issues with senior figures at the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, World Health Organisation, UN Population Fund and World Bank and with Ministers during recent country visits to Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi.
There is regular ongoing UK/US dialogue between Ministers, and at official level between DFID and PEPFAR staff (The US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). These discussions will continue.
