About FGFJ

A multi-party task force of emerging leaders in the Diet was established in 2004 as part of the activities of the Friends of the Global Fund, Japan. Motohisa Furukawa of the Democratic Party of Japan and Ichiro Aisawa of the Liberal Democratic Party serve as task force co-directors. The task force was launched to examine ways to broaden Japan's international role in combating the global threats of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other communicable diseases. The members regularly meet for roundtables with Japanese and overseas leaders to discuss these diseases and effective responses, they take part in exchanges with political leaders from other countries, and they participate in study trips to severely affected areas around the world.
