Summary
Reiterates that a supportive international economic environment is crucial to the success of efforts of developing countries to deal with the eradication of poverty; reiterates its request to the international community to adopt specific and effective measures designed to increase financial flows to developing countries, including attainment of the agreed target of 0.7 per cent of gross national product for official development assistance, as well as of the targets for the least developed countries adopted by the 2nd UN Conference on the Least Developed Countries, in order to strengthen the efforts of developing countries to eradicate poverty; calls upon the international community to implement technical cooperation programmes in order to improve the situation in the areas of food, health, education population and housing and meet other basic needs of the populations of developing countries, in particular the poorest groups among them, and, in this context reaffirms that, with respect to the transfer of technology on concessional and preferential terms, in particular to developing countries, effective modalities should be examined with a view to implementing and enhancing that transfer as much as possible.
