JOHANNESBURG (PLUSNEWS) - British Chancellor Gordon Brown says wealthy nations must do more to develop vaccines against HIV/AIDS and malaria.
He urged the G8 group of industrialised countries to match his government's target of spending 0.7 percent of national income on aid.
Britain is due to take over the rotating presidencies of both the European Union (EU) and the G8 next year, and Prime Minister Tony Blair has already made it clear that third world development, particularly in Africa, would be a top priority.
According to United Press International, Brown said 2005 would be a 'make or break' year for third world development.
