Bangladesh’s Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment and Labour and Employment, Ariful Haque Chowdhury, has called for expanded cooperation from the International Labour Organization (ILO) to enhance entrepreneurship, skills development, employment generation, and the growth of small and medium enterprises among marginalized communities. The call was made during a meeting with ILO Director-General Gilbert Houngbo in Geneva on Wednesday.
During the meeting, the minister reaffirmed Bangladesh’s commitment to democracy, human rights, and labor rights. He informed the ILO chief about ongoing efforts to align national laws and policies with international labor standards. Bangladesh has so far ratified 39 ILO conventions and has become the first country in Asia to ratify all fundamental ILO conventions.
The minister also highlighted progress in labor sector reforms, the formation of a Labor Rights Reform Commission, the restructuring of tripartite institutions, and the amendment of labor laws through the National Tripartite Consultative Council. He expressed hope for a positive and amicable resolution of the Article 26 case filed against Bangladesh.
