Nobody can deny that such cooperation could lead to negative consequences as well. believe that there are strong arguments on both sides, I would suggest that development of international contacts has . There are why countries have to work together. First, not every country has enough natural and capital resources for effective development. with each other is an essential part of their everyday operations. Another issue is that is the factor of utmost importance, which has led to the global surge in economic development.

Collaboration between countries has also a negative influence. For example, after massive migration people with different values, level of income, and attitude to the national authorities begin to live as neighbors. By everyday communication, they continue to lose their roots, to acquire new habits or even to forget their mother language. All of this could probably be a cause of losing national identities of the citizens or some developing countries could disappear with their unique history and traditions.
