JAPAN:
Amb. Shunji Maruyama said that Japan will extend its
cooperation to developing countries in the amount of US$3 billion as
part of its ODA programme for the period 1994-2000. The Population
Division should assume responsibility for overall coordination, while
UNFPA should assume responsibility for implementing operational
programmes. A substantially reinforced Population Commission should be
the major expert level institution. It could be renamed the Commission
on Population and Development. The current membership of 27 member
States should be maintained. Japan is not convinced that UNFPA needs
its own Executive Board
