He highly appreciated the realization of the ILO Country Program on Decent Work in Uzbekistan, the implementation of labor standards in accordance with international standards.
The Director General separately thanked the leadership of Uzbekistan for ratifying the ILO fundamental Convention No. 87 "Concerning Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize" of 1948. "We are counting on the fact that the work on studying the compliance of the national legislation of the Republic with other ILO Conventions will be continued", the head of the ILO said.
In this context, G. Ryder stressed the need to expand bilateral cooperation, further improvement of the legal framework, joint development of plans and practical measures.
