Drug trafficking is a transnational business based in the US. We must fight to eliminate drug trafficking, production and consumption. We cannot accept the use of the drug problem as an excuse for US military and political intervention in Latin American countries, as recently happened in Panama. We urge all of the countries of the world to combat with equal energy production, traffickinq and consumption of drugs, but in a manner which respects the sovereignty of every nation. The dialogue of leaders of popular movements and parties at this peoples summit must be continued and expanded to include representatives from other countries. The most important development in this recent period has been the qrowth and expanded activity amonq non-qovernmental organizations, including E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/NGO/ll paqe 5 trade unions and other orqanizations of workers and farmers, popular political parties, and qrass roots peoples' movements have grown within countries and have begun to reach out across national political boundaries to join hands in pursuit of common goals. We came here to strengthen ties amongst peoples. We are part of a common cause to defend the national hopes and cultures of the people of the world against trends of domination and new colonialism. The opportunity to strengthen ties of solidarity in our common struqqle and to carry forward the work begun in Houston of developing a more comprehensive, popular, democratic agenda for economic and social change, is a source of renewed vitality for our movements as we face the challenges of the nineties.
