**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the activities and decisions of a committee related to international development and coordination, with a focus on economic cooperation and coordination among countries. The mention of specific topics such as "Economic and technical co-operation among developing countries" and "Improvement of the work of the Committee under its mandate" suggests that the committee's work is focused on economic development and international cooperation.
