During the elections of members of the UN Statistical Commission for 2026-2029 held in New York, Uzbekistan was unanimously elected to this body for the first time in its history.
It should be noted that the Statistical Commission was founded in 1947 as a functional body of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It is the main intergovernmental institution that determines the strategic directions of development of international statistics. It coordinates the development and implementation of universal statistical standards and methodological principles. It consists of 24 member states elected for 4 years, taking into account geographical distribution.
Uzbekistan’s election to this body is a clear indication of international recognition of the profound transformations carried out under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the country’s growing role in global processes.
Full membership in the Statistical Commission opens up broad opportunities for Uzbekistan to participate in the formation of global statistical policy, present national experience and successes of reforms, study best foreign practices, and deepen international cooperation.
