Writing?

This respect among ourselves, Myanmar people, and with people from all over the world will make our nation a better place to live in.

The sentence is from a passage of an examination question. Is it grammatically correct? If not, please correct it.

It is not correct. This seems to be the minimum needed to fix it: This respect among ourselves, the Myanmar people, and from people from all over the world, will make our nation a better place to live in. "This respect" needs to refer to respect previously mentioned.

"This respect" needs to refer to respect previously mentioned. I am assuming that "ourselves" is supposed to refer to the Myanmar people.
