The head of the delegation of Uzbekistan, Chairman of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis Tanzila Narbayeva, during her speech at the plenary session of the conference, acquainted the international community with the large-scale reforms being implemented in Uzbekistan to ensure social justice.
- Social justice is not only a criterion of morality, but also the basis of national stability and well-being. We highly appreciate cooperation with the ILO, which is a leader in promoting national decent work programs, developing social dialogue, social protection of the population, employment and labor protection, and support the initiative of the Director General of the ILO to create a Coalition for Social Justice as a condition for peace, stability and sustainable development.
We are confident that the entry of Uzbekistan into this Coalition on the initiative of the ILO as one of the first countries will serve to improve the investment climate in the country, develop the economy and business, as well as strengthen cooperation with Central Asian countries on labor and social justice issues," the Chairman of the Senate noted.
Recall that the International Labour Conference adopts ILO conventions and recommendations developed by representatives of governments, workers and employers. Conventions are legally binding international treaties that can be ratified by ILO member States.
