International News Japan Pledges $2.65 Million for Fighting HIV/AIDS, Malaria in MyanmarNovember 28, 2006 Japan has pledged $2.65 million to UNICEF to combat HIV/AIDS and malaria in Myanmar, according to its embassy in Yangon. The funds will be used to buy rapid-result test kits and medicines for measles and malaria, as well as HIV test kits and medicines and equipment to promote reproductive health, the embassy said. Though it initially suspended aid to Myanmar after a military junta seized power in 1998, Japan has since become the largest donor to the nation. Due to their disapproval of the junta's human rights record and failure to transfer authority to an elected government, most Western countries offer little aid to Myanmar.
