Japan to take lead in ADF replenishment

Japan vows May 1 to ''take the lead'' in efforts to replenish the Asian Development Bank's dwindling concessional loan window -- the Asian Development Fund (ADF). ''Japan is determined to take the lead in fulfilling its obligation,'' Japanese Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa told a news conference in Manila. ''Japan is willing to shoulder a considerable portion of the projected 6.3 billion dollar ADF, which is to cover a four-year period from 2000.'' ==Kyodo
