We must continually reaffirm that democratic government as an integral system is the only way for fulfilling the political and economic aspirations of our peoples and for realizing social justice, and that this system is the key to sustainable development.
Globalization is no guarantee of continued democratization.
These countries merit our respect and our help. We also forward to working together in a variety of international fora to promote democratic principles and practices. We intend to support the efforts of other countries that are beginning the process of democratic transition. So that democracy may achieve its aims we must link growth and development for peoples and their economic interests. Democracy without development will not overcome the great dangers which await us.
