text: increasing convergence of views on the problems affecting the world economy and a general relinquishing of ideological approaches in favour of pragmatic formulas aimed at finding practical solutions tailored to concrete problems. Two basic principles underlie our common thinking on development: on the one hand, each State is responsible for its own development and the well-being of its citizens while, on the other hand, in an evermore interdependent world, the international community has a special responsibility to assist the developing countries in their development efforts. But high as the amounts of international assistance may be, under no circumstances can that assistance be a substitute for the adoption of efficient and appropriate domestic policies by the recipient country. Furthermore, it is evident that, if international assistance is to produce the desired effect and national economies are to acquire the capacity to respond to the world's increasing interdependency and to derive full advantage from its benefits, it is necessary to continue to pursue policies of rigorous economic management, to develop market mechanisms and to encourage the private sector. It is, however, also necessary to recognize that if these measures are to be effective they have to be accompanied by external assistance, and that the international community has a particular responsibility for guaranteeing, among other things, the support needed for programmes aimed at protecting the most vulnerable sectors of the population. JSM/ASW A/S-18/PV. 4 129-130 (Mr. Rei no, Portuqal) At the beginning of a new decade, this special session gives us a unique opportunity to develop the dialogue further and for an exchange of opinion on models of development.
