“At a critical moment in the global campaign against malaria, the G8’s reaffirmation of its commitment to fighting the disease adds greatly appreciated momentum to our collective efforts. I look forward to continuing to work with the governments on fulfilling their 2008 pledge to supply 100 million lifesaving mosquito nets, so that together we can meet Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s goal of the universal provision of malaria control interventions by December 31, 2010. In particular, I wish to thank the G8 for its recognition of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance, an organization that will prove absolutely essential in our shared mission to end deaths from this disease.”
