Nor is the global financial crisis a justification for the world’s leaders failing to keep their word. Nearly nine years ago, at the Millennium Development Summit in New York, the leaders of 180 countries, including all the major affluent nations, promised that by 2015 they would together achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
全球金融危机也不是世界各国领导人不信守诺言得理由。大约9年前，在纽约举行的“千年发展首脑会议”上，包括所有主要富裕国家的180个国家的领导人承诺，到2015年，他们将共同实现千年发展目标。
