81. On this planet, we note with great satisfaction that economic development and prosperity are marching side by side with political progress and achievements. Economic development plans are being carried out in various parts of the world at a rapid rate and in wide dimensions. It is vital to the general movement of international economic progress that the developed countries should continue to assist the developing countries, in an organized and systematic manner, to meet their development needs. 82. My country, under the wise leadership of its monarch and through his perseverance in securing for his people both progress and stability, is advancing steadily toward self-sufficiency, a stage which is bringing us closer to meeting the needs of our people and to ensuring their happiness, well-being and prosperity.
