UN General Assembly
1990

While Europe experiences fundamental changes which benefit its peoples, and while the prosperity and well-being of the other advanced peoples continue to grow, developing countries are heading towards deeper economic underdevelopment. Notwithstanding the special session of the General Assembly on recovery from the critical economic situation in Africa, that continent sinks deeper into the morass of its economic problems and teeters under the overwhelming burdens of poverty and debt. Morocco has always believed in the usefulness of constructive dialogue, and its foreign policy has always been pervaded by optimism. It is in this spirit that we hope for a favourable response on the part of the prosperous countries to the legitimate requests of the developing countries. Such a response would reflect the spirit of international detente and the positive impact it should have on the economies of the developed countries.
