text: nuclear safeguards, assistance and co-operation. In this area more than anywhere else, new ground was covered and considerable progress made. This applies in particular to such questions as export requirements, safeguards coverage and the development of a financial infrastructure for peaceful nuclear co-operation. This sort of progress is very important to the NPT regime as a whole. I also hope that it augurs well for an event of interest to this Committee, the forthcoming United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.

analysis: The text appears to focus on international agreements, cooperation, and diplomacy related to nuclear energy and security.

This suggests that the text is primarily concerned with international relations and security rather than economic development or other categories.
