UN to continue cooperation with Mongolia in fighting HIV/AIDS: envoy - NZweek: "ULAN BATOR, Nov. 30 — UN representative Sezin Sinanoglu said Friday that the UN team in Mongolia will continue cooperation with the Mongolian government in fighting HIV/AIDS.

At a press conference held to observe the World AIDS Day, Sinanoglu said significant progress has been made in halting and reducing HIV/AIDS worldwide in recent years.

According to a 2012 AIDS report released by UNAIDS, there has been over 50 percent reduction in the rate of new HIV infections across 25 low- and middle-income countries, and more than half of the countries are in Africa, the region most affected by HIV/AIDS."
