The president left no major or minor topic untouched. For example, he highlighted the positive and negative aspects of globalization, while noting that globalization provided an atmosphere for achievements in information technology, the flow of capitals and opening new market. He criticized the inability of globalization to combat poverty, debt problems and epidemics. He did not omit that poverty has been a social evil for so long. But he pointed out that the evolution of a civilized society has made it necessary to contain poverty and help improve the conditions of those who are bowed under its yoke.
Poverty is inversely proportional to increasing debts in developing nations.
In the meantime, economic hardship is fertile ground for disease as long as there are no means available to fight them. President Mubarak focused on the weak points in order that D-8 members collaborate to provide remedies. Due to the fact that President Mubarak always bases his strategy on wise planning, he prescribed a recipe for narrowing the gaps over the next five years. The suggestions which he put forward would be easy to realize through concerted efforts, joint plans of action and goodwill from everybody involved. President Mubarak said that this hope would not be difficult to realize, especially if there is the will, the determination and a sense of challenge.
