135. We reaffirm that democracy is a universal value based on the freely expressed will of people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems and their full participation in all aspects of their lives. We also reaffirm that while democracies share common features, there is no single model of democracy, that it does not belong to any country or region, and reaffirm the necessity of due respect for sovereignty and the right of self-determination. We stress that democracy, development and respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
135. 我们重申，民主是一种普遍价值观，基于人民决定自己的政治、经济、社会和文化制度的自由表达意志，基于人民对其生活所有方面的全面参与。我们还重申，虽然民主政体具有共同特点，但不存在唯一的民主模式，民主并不专属于任何国家或区域，并重申必须适当尊重主权和自决权利。我们着重指出，民主、发展与尊重所有人权和基本自由是相互依存、相互加强的。
