Geldof, Tutu to attend AIDS conference

SINGER and third world campaigner Bob Geldof and Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be in Dublin later this month for the largest-ever conference on the escalating HIV/AIDS problem in Europe and Central Asia.

Delegates from over 55 European and Central Asian countries will participate in Breaking the Barriers on February 23 and 24.

It is the first of three conferences on AIDS being convened by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Minister for Overseas Development Tom Kitt as part of Ireland's EU Presidency.
