analysis: The text discusses the importance of finding lasting solutions to the debt problem, the need for a multilateral trading system, and the threat to the environment. It also touches on the role of the United Nations in addressing global problems and the importance of unity among countries. The text does not specifically focus on economic development, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture. However, it does discuss international trade, natural resources, and the environment, which suggests that these categories are relevant.
