- Cooperation in development and population migration, given that many of these movements are caused by poverty and the low living standard in the place of origin, or by wars and social instability, which, in most cases, are the cause of underdevelopment. Development cooperation and training of people from other places, which then promotes socio-economic development in their countries of origin; this is vital for improving the standard of living in many areas that are presently pockets of poverty and immigration.
