Thus, all points of view and proposed solutions deserve to be considered for their worth in order to address the complex crises which are currently raging across our planet.

A/64/470 09-53756 6 Dialogue also requires a spirit of burden-sharing.

As long as some peoples and actors of the world are underestimated and even excluded, effectiveness will miss the mark. The promises made at the international conferences on the economic, financial, food and climate crises must be kept. Among them, I would like to cite the promise to allocate 0.7 per cent of the economic recovery plans adopted in rich countries to respond to the immediate needs of peoples suffering from hunger and malnutrition
