The first World Statistics Day (20-10-2010) was celebrated in over 130 countries and areas.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank sincerely all the
statistical offices and associations, international organizations,
universities, civil society organizations and individuals that
initiated, organized or took part in activities to celebrate this
important Day. I am also grateful to the many countries and
organizations which have sent congratulatory messages to UNSD.
With your help and support, this unprecedented event has achieved fully
its objective of building support and better understanding for official
statistics among the general public and the policy-makers worldwide.
-- Paul Cheung, Director, United Nations Statistics Division
