NEW YORK, 9 June, 2021 (TON): A political declaration was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, involving the member states to commit themselves in eradicating AIDS by 2030.

As per the declaration, the states will reduce the annual new HIV infections under 370,000 and annual AIDS- related death under 250,000 by 2025.
