**Analysis**
The text appears to be a speech by a representative of Senegal to the United Nations General Assembly, congratulating Namibia on its admission to the UN and expressing support for the Secretary-General and the Preparatory Committee. The speech also mentions economic problems facing developing countries, but it does not provide specific details or policies to address these issues. Therefore, it seems that the main focus is on international relations and organization rather than economic development or other specific sectors.
