LITHUANIAN PRESIDENT URGES DEVELOPMENT BASED ON FREE WILL AND
COUNTRY-SPECIFIC CONTEXTNew York, Sep 26 2013 3:00PMFree choice,
democracy and fundamental human rights are key to progress on the
anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
and a sustainable agenda that will follow them after 2015,
<"http://gadebate.un.org/68/lithuania">Lithuanian President Dalia
Grybauskaitë today told the United Nations.

In her statement to the 68th General Assembly debate, Ms. Grybauskaitë
stressed that "Development cannot be imposed, development must be
promoted."

She noted that the international community has an obligation to offer
support – based on principles of ownership and empowering, but
instead, there are still Member States who seek to enforce a specific
course of development on others by "economic pressure, energy levers
or cyber tools, by distorted information, or threats."

Addressing heads of State and Government and other high-level
officials, Ms. Grybauskaitë called for an end to power games. "The
21st century must be the age of solidarity, equality and sustainable
development. It cannot be an age of power show-off, zero-sum games or
buffer zones."

Turning to the experience of Lithuania and the Baltic State region,
she said that for many years, these countries worked hard to reach
national agreement on reforms.

A path that would have been easier if their free will had been
respected and their decision supported in good faith and with
encouragement by those who could provide such support, Ms.
Grybauskaitë said instead of facing trade restrictions, bans on goods,
price manipulation for energy supplies, the use of pressure and open
disrespect displayed in information space.

Ms. Grybauskaitë is one of scores of leaders to speak at the annual
session at which heads of State and Government and other high-level
officials will present their views and comments on issues of
individual national and international relevance.

This year's theme focuses on accelerating progress towards the MDGs
and on laying the foundation for an ambitious post-2015 development
agenda. The General Debate wraps up on 1 October.Sep 26 2013 3:00PM
