The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has welcomed the signing of the EU-Vietnam free trade agreement (EVFTA) on June 30th in Hanoi, which promotes the respect for fundamental labour rights as a basic condition for fair international trade.
"I
congratulate Vietnam
and the EU on this milestone. It is an excellent example of how free trade
agreements and sustainable development can be balanced through mutual
commitment to respecting and implementing principles under the ILO’s 1998
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work for ensuring decent
work for all,” said ILO Vietnam Director Chang-Hee Lee.
"I am pleased to see the major
steps Vietnam
has taken to meet the challenges of rapidly changing labour markets as well as
to fulfil its international commitments,” said the ILO Vietnam Director who
applauded the country’s ratification of Convention 98 and on-going revision of
its Labour Code towards better alignment with ILO fundamental conventions.
He reaffirmed ILO’s commitment to
supporting the Vietnamese Government, workers and employers’ representatives in
their reforms of labour laws and industrial relations.
"I am convinced that Vietnam will
successfully complete this mission for its own future – a future built on
higher productivity, better working conditions, the fair sharing of economic
gains, equality, the recognition of the voices of workers and employers, and
political and social stability,” he said.
