analysis: The text primarily focuses on the international relations and diplomacy of socialist Albania, highlighting its commitment to self-reliance, mutual benefit, and international collaboration. It also touches on the challenges faced by the United Nations, particularly its inability to maintain international peace and security. The tone is more political and diplomatic than economic or technical.
