analysis: The text appears to be discussing international economic cooperation, the revitalization of economic growth, and the development of developing countries. It also mentions the Second United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries and a draft declaration on international economic cooperation. These topics suggest that the category should be related to economic development and international trade.
