Participation+of+and+input+from+LDCs+in+summit-level+economic+talks

An issue in the world today is the fact that LDC's are not represented in summit-level economic talks. These talks only include the most developed nations and need representation from LDC's in order for them to resolve issues that truly are global. There should be a summit in which LDC's are represented as well. According to the Brandt Report, there are twelve global issues that must be resolved on a global scale. These issues include the global stagflation problem, the international monetary reform problem, the world energy problem, the arms proliferation/balance of power problem, the political terrorism/human rights problem, the population pressure/quality of life problem, the economic assistance problem, the food security problem, the terms of trade problem, the structural adjustment problem, and the technology transfer/foreign investment problem. The Report called for a "global summit" as a way of including LDC's into these talks and solving issues that are global in a global manner. This in turn boosts interdependence and increases the status of LDC's in the world. Iraq believes that this should be done as it includes all nations in talks since all nations are affected by these issues and could contribute to solving them.
