About 300 statistical experts from Viet Nam and 47 other countries are gathering in Da Nang’s Pullman Danang Beach Resort from 8-10 October for the 2014 IAOS Conference on Official Statistics.  This year’s event has “Challenges of State Statistics: Meeting the Demands of a Changing World” as its theme. 

The conference provides an opportunity for delegates to share their management experience and professional skills to promote the development of the statistics sector.

Vice Chairman Khuong speaking at the event

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the event, the municipal People’s Committee Vice Chairman, Mr Vo Duy Khuong, applauded the organisers’ decision to choose Da Nang for this year’s event.  He remarked that the event provided an opportunity for the city’s statisticians to learn about statistics management from the experience of foreign countries.  This will help to put the local statistics sector on a par with other countries in Asia, as well as the world as a whole, in the near future.
