#SocialJustice is the foundation of peaceful, prosperous and sustainable societies.

Decent work, labour rights, social protection, and social dialogue to find durable solutions for today's world of work challenges, are vital to achieve social justice for all.

Happy #LabourDay !

The situation in Gaza, decent job creation and social dialogue were priority topics while in Iraq for the Arab Labour Conference.

I discussed these and other key issues with the President, Prime Minister, Minister of Labour & Social Affairs and employer & worker representatives.

My discussion today with Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, focused on the impact of the situation in Gaza on lives and livelihoods.

I also expressed my appreciation for the League’s decision to join the Global Coalition for #SocialJustice .

At our meeting, I thanked Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani, for inviting me to the Arab Labour Conference, hosted by Iraq.

We discussed cooperation with @ILO and efforts to promote decent work, including through labour law, social security, and trade union reforms.

The Arab Labour Conference meets against the backdrop of conflict and growing challenges in the world of work.

Collective endeavour is vital to find lasting solutions.

This includes the Global Coalition for #SocialJustice , which aims to accelerate progress on development goals.

I welcome the statement of govt, employer & worker delegates at the Pacific Tripartite H-L Dialogue on #DecentWork & the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.

Together we can drive progress on social, environmental & economic dimensions to achieve greater #SocialJustice .

Millions of workers globally are facing increased health risks due to the multiple impacts of #ClimateChange .

Let’s redouble our efforts to prevent work-related fatalities and illnesses and safeguard the well-being of all workers.

#SafeDay2024

Rapid tech development, including #AI , and the transition to green economies are reshaping jobs markets.

It's crucial all women and men, boys and girls have access to the education and skills development needed to prepare for the #jobs of tomorrow.

#SkillsForAll is a priority.

Global cooperation is the surest way to achieve durable solutions to global challenges.

#Multilateralism and #Diplomacy are vital to find ways out of conflict and put the world on the path to peace.

For @ILO, #SocialJustice for all is the foundation of lasting peace.

#Skills development is a powerful tool to address inequalities and advance #SocialJustice .

It empowers individuals to have fulfilling careers.

It enables enterprises to find the right talent.

And it helps economies achieve inclusive and sustainable development.

#Skills ForAll

Good to speak with Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Attaf about furthering strong @ILO-Algeria relations.

I welcomed Algeria's active role in the ILO, its knowledge and promotion of best practice in South-South cooperation, and the social dimension of Algerian policy.
