He said: when we make a comparison of the state of science and technology in this global world we find that there are significant social and economic differences between the developed and under developing countries. He said that many underlying causes of these differences are rooted in the long history of development of such nations and social, cultural and economic variables, historical and political elements, international relations and geographical factors.
