**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and Czechoslovakia to the United Nations General Assembly, expressing their concerns about economic coercion and measures used by advanced capitalist states against developing countries. The text does not explicitly mention specific economic development projects or natural resources, but rather focuses on the broader issue of economic coercion and its impact on developing countries.
