lorne, does Canada appreciate Tony Blair?:Britain to support more third world aid 09-Dec-2004 Story from United Press International LONDON, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- British Chancellor Gordon Brown said 2005 would be a "make or break" year for third world development, and called on EU and G8 nations to further support it. Speaking at an event hosted by the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development Wednesday evening, Brown called on donor countries to double their aid and write off the debts of the most poverty stricken nations. He also asked G8 countries to match the British government's target of spending 0.7 percent of national income on aid. Richer countries must also do more to develop vaccines against AIDS and malaria, he said. A plan for an international finance facility that would aim to double funds for global aid to $100 billion a year was also announced. Britain is due to take over the rotating presidencies of both the European Union and the G8 next year, and Prime Minister Tony Blair has already made clear that third world development, particularly in Africa, is a top priority.
