UN Arabic Language Day , established by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2010, is observed annually on December 18. It seeks "to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six of its official working languages throughout the organization". On December 18, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved Arabic as an official UN language in 1973.
