-In the modern world into which Ethiopia has emerged in this century, the distances between nations and peoples can no longer be measured in units of space. Many kilometers separate Poland and Ethiopia but with modern transport available we and all nations are virtually neighbors. Yet we must also be neighbors in a far deeper and more significant sense. The interdependence of the peoples of the world is already an established fact and the sphere of mutual interest expands daily. Economically, cooperation serves us all well, but economic cooperation, while of crucial significance, is not in itself an end. There must also exist a body of shared principles of morality and justice which governs not only economics but human relations as well. Many of these principles have already been established and are enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations Organization and the International Declaration of Human Rights.-
