4. Most developing countries, however, especially African countries and LDCs, have remained on the margins of the globalization process. They still face major challenges for the realization of their economic potential and the incorporation of large masses of unemployed into the productive sectors. There is a need to focus on the ability of international trade to contribute to poverty alleviation. There is also a need for an increased focus on commodities, including the issue of instability in world commodity prices.
5. For all countries, it is important that, at the international level, efforts can be deployed and policies implemented in order to facilitate internal adjustments and to remove external constraints to put the developing world on a firm and sustainable path to development. We can rightly say that, 40 years after the foundation of UNCTAD, the relationship between trade and development, which is the cornerstone of its mandate, has become even more important with the deepening of globalization.
6. We are committed to the struggle for the eradication of poverty and hunger. Policy instruments and measures, at the national and international levels, should be adopted, in particular in the areas of trade and financing including through new financial initiatives, to encourage the creation of opportunities for the poor women and men of the world to have access to jobs and to stable and adequate remuneration. This is the sustainable road to reforms, stability and growth.
7. The plight of the least developed countries should receive the utmost attention from the international community. We are committed to generating and better utilizing additional international resources, market access and technical assistance for the LDCs in order to enable them to establish, in the context of effective national policies, a solid base for their development processes.
8. Multilateral trade negotiations, under the Doha Work Programme, should be accelerated with a view to an early and successful conclusion that fully reflects the level of ambition agreed to at Doha. As it places development at the centre of the multilateral trade negotiations for the first time, the Doha Work Programme converges with and reinforces the mandate of UNCTAD.
In this regard, all WTO members are committed to making the results of the trade negotiations truly responsive to development concerns. The accession of development countries, especially LDCs, and countries with economies in transition to the WTO should be facilitated.
