Says global opinion poll

Staff Correspondent
Most people across the globe want their governments to be more cooperative to achieve mutual gains, showed a global opinion poll yesterday.
"On average across all nations surveyed, 55 percent of those polled believe that their leaders should be more ready to act cooperatively to achieve mutual gains," according to the poll con-ducted by
WorldPublicOpinion.org.
The findings conie'at a time When world leadert'^hfiier in Copenhagen to consider cooperative options for addressing the issue of climate change.
The Programme on International Policy Attitudes
at the University of Maryland, USA, manages WorldPublicOpinion.org, a project that involves researcher centres across the world. It conducted the poll of 20,349 respondents in 21 nations that comprise 64 percent of the world's population.
The countries include China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Nigeria, Russia, Mexico, Chile, Germany, Great Britain, France, Poland, Ukraine, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Turkey. Iraq and Pakistan.
The poll shows the highest levels of support for greater cooperation are among TUrks (81%). Egyptians (76%), and Nigerians (73%). Palestinians are also among the highest
(69%), a positive indicator for potential Middle East peace negotiations.
Public calling for greater cooperation also are found in the Americans, Chinese, Russians and Indians. Although Indians favour greater cooperation, only 42 percent of Pakistanis say the same.
Interestingly, the most distinct cluster of nations with low numbers calling for greater cooperation is in the EU. Less than half feel their governments ^hoilld bt more cooperative in Britain, Poland, France, and Germany. This may be because they feel that they are already cooperative enough.
Asked to assess whether the US is generally coopera-
tive in its relations with other countries, public in 15 of the 19 nations said the US is generally cooperative, with an average of 59 percent saying that it is cooperative and 30 percent saying it is not.
The nations to say that the US is not cooperative all have Muslim majorities: Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan and Turkey though these nations have close working relations with the US.
China's overall cooperation with other nations draws a positive-response from a majoHty^f respondents around the world. In China, 63 percent of those polled on the mainland say their government should be more open to international cooperation.
