By providing a few billion dollars per year in assistance now, the donor world would ensure a prosperous, democratic, and stable partner in India for decades to come. In other words, it is time for donors to step up to help reform-minded yet poor countries like India, and, even more urgently, those in Africa that are similarly committed to economic development.
富有的国家不应吝惜对印度的援助。倘若现在每年提供价值几十亿的援助，捐赠国就能够确保在未来几十年内，印度成为繁荣、民主而且稳定的伙伴。换句话讲，现在是时候做出努力，帮助印度这样希望改革的贫困国家。更为迫切的是，非洲致力于经济发展的国家也急需得到同样的帮助。
