Uzbekistan was elected to the UN Statistical Commission for the first time.

Uzbekistan was unanimously elected as a member of this body for the first time in the history of the UN Statistical Commission in New York during the election of member states for 2026-2029.

As is known, the Statistical Commission was established in 1947 by the UN Economic and Social Council (ESC) as a functional body. It is the main intergovernmental organization that determines the development of international statistics and coordinates work on universal statistical standards and methodological principles.

Full membership in the Statistical Commission opens up wide opportunities for Uzbekistan to participate in the formation of global statistical policy, demonstrate national experience and achievements of reforms, study best foreign practices, and strengthen international cooperation.
