100. All member countries of the United Nations must participate in vigorous action to combat the hunger which threatens many parts of the world. However, there is a parallel need to control the increase of the world population. We are encouraged by the large contributions offered to the Secretary-General's Trust Fund for population activities. Population control furthermore is an increasingly important element in Danish bilateral development programmes. 101.

The Danish Parliament has recently adopted a plan according to which Denmark in a few years will reach the 1 percent target established by the United Nations.
