We recognize it is essential to create a vibrant and sustainable economic system, one that can create jobs and provide a decent standard of living for all people,

While maintaining a healthy ecological balance.

All individuals are encouraged to act to improve their personal well-being, and, at the same time, enhance ecological balance and social harmony.
