Speech to the 17th Meeting of the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board Geneva, 27 June 2005 by Dr Peter Piot Executive Director

27 June 2005

At the outset, let me thank Canada and Minister Eileen Carol for their leadership on AIDS and for having chaired the Board over the last year, particularly for all the support to the Programme and to me personally. Let me also thank Brazil and Minister Humberto Costa for accepting to be our Chair for the next 12 months – a very welcome step as part of Brazil’s exceptional leadership on AIDS.
