third-world countries over the solution of the serious problems they have to deal with: continued underdevelopment, the inequities prevailing in world economic relations and the finanicial system, the ominous burden of foreiqn debt. We are determined, therefore, to co-operate closely with the other developing countries within the Group of 77, at the United Nations and in other international forums. In so doing, Romania will encouraqe a meaninqful international dialoque, with due respect for the positions and legitimate interests of all nations, since we are deeply convinced that this is the only way leadinq to mutually acceptable solutions. In recent years Romania has been both a donor and a recipient of aid. In both cases our experiences have been less than rewardinq. The system failed us in either case. From our own experiences we have learned that realism, flexibility, mutual understanding and due consideration for the problems facing each of us, especially the developing countries, ought to become parts of our common endeavours when dealing with world economic problems. Increasing interdependence and integration among nations accelerate the conveyance of both positive growth impulses and negative vibrations. The current special session of the General Assembly may offer a propitious opportunity to build a new international consensus on the global economic challenges facinq the world community in the years to come and to formulate broad quidelines for shared responsibilities in meetinq those challenqes. Here are some of them: BCT/ASW A/S-18/PV.4 104-105 (Mr. Celac, Romania) First, an upswing in multilateral economic co-operation will increasingly depend upon sound strategies and policies on a national level and a genuine partnership of developed and developing countries on an international level. Secondly, underdevelopment will continue to be a major threat to the stability of the world economy as long as it is approached from a position and in terms of polarization and confrontation. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement focusing on the economic development of third-world countries, their struggles with underdevelopment, foreign debt, and the need for international cooperation to address these issues. The tone is formal and emphasizes the importance of dialogue, mutual understanding, and shared responsibility. The text does not mention specific natural resources, environmental concerns, or scientific topics, which suggests that it is primarily focused on economic development and international relations.
