ANSWER: Peace, Sovereignty and Solidarity for Development
- Theme for the next three years – “Peace, Sovereignty and Solidarity for Development” – is in congruence with NAM’s founding principles.
- Sustainable development is both the bedrock and the highest aspiration of NAM’s efforts; hence the importance of solidarity that this Movement attaches to achieving it.
- The other two elements of Nam’s triad of objectives – Peace and Sovereignty – are a pre-requisite for development.
- A peaceful global environment is essential for development and for development cooperation; such cooperation must be undertaken in exercise of the sovereign will of each member of the community of nations. The interdependence of the three is thus evident and essential.
