**Analysis**
The text primarily focuses on international economic cooperation, the success of the UN General Assembly, and the celebration of Namibia's independence. It does not mention any specific economic development projects, natural resources, or environmental issues. However, it does touch on the topic of international relations and the climate of detente. Given the emphasis on international cooperation and the celebration of a country's independence, I hypothesize that the category would be related to international relations or economic development.
