We must ensure that the children of the world . We celebrate the diversity of our nations. We encourage cultural diversity. Globalisation, which is indeed about more contacts and more exchanges, should not lead to uniformity, but to the enrichment of people and the opening of cultures. The global environment must be handed on safely to future generations.
Sustainable development is an important orientation for modern governance.
This goal should be respected in all relevant areas of international policy. We support the commitments of the Kyoto protocol and want to use new mechanisms, like emissions trading, to create common interest between the developing and developed world. We must make a concerted effort to prevent the spread of infectious diseases that are robbing developing countries of their most precious assets - their people. We support an increased focus on resources on health infrastructure. We, the leaders of progressive governments, believe that democracy in the 21st century advances the ideals and instruments of hope for all.
