Addressing the event, Director Chang Hee Lee said the ILO will promote labourers’ rights in the workplace, identify sustainable occupational opportunities, increase social assistance and increase talks on job-related issues.
The organisation is committed to working with the VGCL to run programmes in the field, as well as arrange funding for personnel training and research activities, he added.
President Dang Ngoc Tung hoped that the ILO will help Vietnamese trade unions to understand the impacts of Vietnam’s involvement in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal on labour relations, international labour standards and the role of trade unions.
Tung called on the ILO to show domestic trade unions how to reform their organisations and operations, sharpen their negotiation skills and solve employment disputes.
The ILO is also expected to support Vietnamese efforts to protect migrant workers, increase vocational training and defend vulnerable groups, he said.
In the recent years, the ILO has implemented a number of activities to assist Vietnamese trade unions, such as organising short training courses and national and international workshops, and helping the country revise legal documents on labour, trade unions and gender equality.
