**Analysis**
The text appears to be a formal communication from the United Nations Secretary-General to the Permanent Representatives of Member States, informing them of the formation of a new state, the Republic of Yemen, which is the result of a merger between the Yemen Arab Republic and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. The document does not contain any specific information about economic development, natural resources, or environmental issues. It does not seem to be related to agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, international trade, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture. However, it could be related to international relations, diplomacy, or politics.
