text: not compromised. Therefore, we hoPe that at the end of this session we shall be able to translate into concrete action what the United Nations tells us: that development is another name for peace. JSM/jf A/S-18/PV. 6 151 Mr. VELCSO (Mozambique): On behalf of the Mozambican people and Government, I have the special honour and or ivileqe wholeheartedly to support and welcome the admission of the Republic of Namibia as the 160th Member of the United Nations. The deeply felt sentiments of joy and satisfaction come as no surprise to us on this occasion which constitutes a historical and siqnificant milestone for the sister nation of Namibia, southern Africa, Africa and the world. I seize this opportunity tD pay tribute to the Namibian people and the South West Africa People's Orqanization (SWAPO) for the qreat couraqe, fortitude and the sacrifices they have made in their lonq and arduous struqqle in pursuance of the sacred riqhts of self-det.ermination and independence. Similarly, I salute the entire international community, especially the United Nations and its Secretary-General, the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) and the Council for Namibia for their t.ireless contributions to the Namibian independence process. In the summer of 1988, the Group of 77, on behalf of the develoPinq countries, called for a special session of the General AssemblY on major problems arisinq from the imbalances and instability of the world economy and particularly the wideninq QaP in the economic and technoloqical spheres between the developed and the developinq countries and the unPrecedented deterioration of socio-economic conditions in the majority of the developinq countries with an increasinq number of the world PDPUlation subjected to extreme poverty and hunqer. Such a noble and timely initiative for the renewal of development dialoque coincided with a oositive Phase in the easinq of international political tensions, 
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.
