Summit Leaders Win New Pledges Vs. AIDS
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer
EVIAN, France - After winning new contributions for fighting AIDS, world leaders were turning their attention Monday to other global problems, such as terrorism, nuclear proliferation and the world economy.
President Bush scored two victories in the opening day of talks. Not only did European nations pledge to match Bush's challenge to provide billions of additional dollars to fight AIDS, but there were signs that tensions stemming from the Iraq war had eased.
Bush and French President Jacques Chirac, who had feuded over the U.S.-led war, went out of their way during Sunday's sessions to put the rancor behind them, according to participants in the sessions.
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said he had heard Iraq mentioned only once during the day's discussions, and only in the context that the battle had been waged successfully in only a few weeks.
Next stop is Egypt, then onto a three-way peace summit with Palestine and Israel. Good luck.
