Developing nations must be responsible for themselves: Obama

US President Barrack Obama has said that developing nations will have to help themselves and not completely depend on aid from developed world, which itself is struggling with financial crisis. He said, developing countries and its people should make tough choices that will unleash the dynamism of these countries. Obama, however, appealed the people of rich countries not to turn their backs on the poorer countries even at a time when developed world is struggling with its own financial crisis. Obama was speaking at the end of the three-day summit called to rejuvenate eight development targets set at the 2000 Millennium summit, aiming to be reached by 2015.The eight Millennium Development Goals include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability.
