**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing international efforts to promote peace, with a focus on a specific year dedicated to this cause. The text mentions the organization of seminars, pledging conferences, and the establishment of a trust fund to finance the year's activities. While there are no explicit references to economic development, natural resources, or industry, the text does suggest that the year's objectives are related to promoting peace and development.
