 ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Former President Clinton told African leaders Monday that they need to strengthen their governments so that they can address long-standing problems of hunger and disease.
Clinton spoke at a summit bringing African political and business leaders together with their U.S. counterparts in search of partnerships to lift the world's poorest continent.
"We can't stop the spread of AIDS without building the capacity of government," Clinton said. He also used the meeting to push cooperation agreements with African countries under which his foundation plans to provide HIV/AIDS drugs to Africans at low costs.
