**Analysis**
The text appears to be a speech or statement from a representative of Mozambique, welcoming the admission of Namibia as the 160th Member of the United Nations. The speech highlights the significance of this milestone, paying tribute to the Namibian people and the international community for their efforts in achieving independence. The speech also references the Group of 77's initiative for a special session on major problems arising from the imbalances in the world economy, which suggests a connection to economic development and international relations. However, the text does not specifically focus on any of the categories related to natural resources, agriculture, industry, transport, communication, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture.
