However, it is clear that the external environment can destroy what we are trying to build. The Republic of Djibouti wishes to underscore the primary role of the United Nations in the field of economic co-operation. The statements we have heard here so far in the framework of this general debate seem to be encouraging concerni~q prospects in this area. The special session nust accord great importance to the strengthening of international and regional economic co-operation and to the improvement of policy co-ordination. We should also seek conunon approaches to the international monetary and financial systems for stable development and favourable growth in all countries, particularly the developing countries -where all the least developed countries are located -so that all these countries may be fully integrated into the world economy and the international trade system. Sustainable and lasting development and the protection and improvement of the world environment are questions affecting all countries and must be examined in a corresponding way. In seeking to achieve its objectives, the special session should pay special attention to the question of human resources. The work of the special session should complement and advance the international development strategy for the 1990s as well as other United Nations plans and programmes of actions for development, and identify the main thrust for the second United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries. The peoples living in the developed world have enormous economic and technological advantages. In almost total contrast, the majority of the population of our planet live in conditions in which they need to struggle merely to survive. &ZEii -
