The tenure of UNAIDS Executive Director Dr. Peter Piot has been extended for another four years, agency officials announced. "This is a crucial time in our fight against the epidemic and in our work to mobilize the world against this unique threat to human development and security," UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said of the decision to renew Piot's appointment. Piot, a Belgian physician who also holds a doctoral degree in microbiology, directs the work of almost a dozen UN agencies fighting HIV/AIDS.
