At the last TB Forum meeting on the 1st of October 2020, I committed to sharing draft documents with stakeholders to inform the drafting of a renewed TB eradication strategy. My officials facilitated this in recent weeks and have asked for written views from stakeholders. Bilaterals will also be accommodated on request.

Once this consultation process is finalised, the Chairman of the Forum will convene another meeting of the TB Stakeholder Forum in November. I envisage publication of the strategy shortly thereafter.
