Good point, but you might find similar chasms in France (see the present

"quando si parla di sviluppo sostenibile di solito ci si riferisce ai
paesi emergenti." From a Google search, "pays émergents" in fr. and
"emerging countries" in English are also quite frequent. Though the
phrase doesn't appear in the UN Millenium Development Goals themselves,
it did in the discussion, according to
