Let me begin by thanking you, Mr Resident Co-ordinator, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for inviting me to be part of the celebrations marking the 66th Anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Day. The UN Day, which is celebrated internationally every year, falls on October 24.

This day is very important, as it coincides with the coming into force of the charter of the United Nations, which clearly spells out the fundamental objectives, purposes and principles of the United Nations Organisation.
