**Analysis**
The text appears to be focused on the coordination of scientific and technological cooperation among member states of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA). The language used is technical and emphasizes the importance of cooperation in achieving economic development. The text does not mention natural resources, environment, agriculture, forestry, fishing, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture, which suggests that these categories are unlikely to be a good fit. The emphasis on industry and international trade is also present, but the text does not specifically focus on these areas. Therefore, I hypothesize that the most fitting category is likely to be "Economic development" or "Science and technology", with a strong leaning towards "Science and technology".
