13. Notes with great concern the continuing debt and debt-servicing problems of the heavily indebted poor developing countries as constituting an element that adversely affects their sustainable development efforts, noting in that regard that the total debt stock of the developing countries rose from $1,458 billion in 1990 to $2,442 billion in 2001, recognizes that creditors and debtors must share the responsibility for preventing and resolving unsustainable debt situations and that debt relief can play a key role in liberating resources that should be directed towards activities consistent with attaining sustainable growth and development, including poverty reduction and the achievement of the development goals contained in the Millennium Declaration, and in that regard urges countries to direct those resources freed through debt relief, in particular through debt cancellation and reduction, towards those objectives;
13. 严重关切地注意到重债发展中穷国持续的债务和偿债问题是对其可持续发展的努力产生不利影响的因素，在这方面注意到发展中国家债务总额已从1990年的1.458万亿美元增加到2001年的2.442万亿美元，认识到债权人和债务人必须共同负责，防止和解决不能持续承受债务的情况，并认识到减免债务对于释放应用于实现可持续增长和发展的活动的资源，能发挥关键作用，包括减少贫穷和实现《千年宣言》所载的发展目标，在这方面敦促各国将通过减免债务、尤其是通过勾销和减少债务而腾出的资源用于实现这些目标；
