Summary

This quote emphasizes that Western countries should not only engage in partnerships with the poorest nations based on democratic values, but they also have obligations and responsibilities towards these countries. It suggests that respect for democracy cannot be the sole criteria for cooperation; rather, the wealthy nations should take into account the developmental needs and challenges faced by their partner countries. This implies a call for a more inclusive approach that considers the broader socioeconomic context and prioritizes addressing the structural inequalities and issues faced by less developed nations.
