**Analysis**
The text appears to be a summary record of a meeting of the United Nations Special Committee Against Apartheid, which suggests that the topic is related to human rights, international politics, and humanitarian issues. The meeting is held to welcome Nelson Mandela, a prominent figure in the struggle against apartheid, and to express sympathy for the victims of an earthquake in Iran. These themes do not fit neatly into the categories related to economic development, industry, transport, communication, or education. However, they do relate to humanitarian aid and relief, human rights, and culture.
