"...THere are no universal panaceas for the problems of development with which the greater part of mankind is today faced. Each nation will inevitably pursue that course wich appears best suited to its unique characteristics, but no nation can pursue its course in isolation and no nation can develop and prosper with its back turned to the rest of the world in terms of trade, techniques, resources and ideas. Each of us depends upon the other, can learn from the other and in pursuing its own destiny will go further and suceed more quickly with others . Indeed, the free exchange of support and ideas is an essential condition to world understanding and equally to world progress."
Speech by Emperor Haile Selassie I 10 february 1966
