[...] Guided by the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations in which the peoples of the United Nations resolved to combine their efforts to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples, the United Nations is a common endeavour to achieve a better world. [...] Today, Asia and the Pacific stands out globally for the richness of its cultures, the durability of its systems of philosophy and the diversity of its forms of governance – and as the home to some of the largest and most dynamic economies on Earth. [...] In Asia and the Pacific, the highest index figures, and thus the greatest inequalities in access to basic services and opportunities, are found in the Pacific, followed closely by countries in South East Asia and in South and South-West Asia.
