A section of the world’s longest mosaic ceramic mural was inaugurated in Hanoi on September 24 as a symbol of cooperation with the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
The section, themed “Decent work and tripartism”, has its first part painted with “Three trees ascending to one point can make a mountain”, “Three hands shaking to demonstrate unity” and “Three arms embracing together” as the main factors in the labour market, namely the government, workers and employers.
The rest of the 70m-long section depicts activities by various sectors in Vietnam such as industry, agriculture, handicrafts and aquaculture. It is marked with paintings of a shining sun, happy families and wide roads as a symbol of a bright future for Vietnam.
The Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, said at the inauguration ceremony that, “The mural is a symbol of the fruitful cooperation between Vietnam’s tripartite constituents and the ILO to promote decent work and social justice for all in Vietnam. It is also a valuable gift from social partners and the ILO for Hanoi to mark its millennium anniversary”.
Sachiko Yamamoto, Regional Director of the ILO Office for Asia and the Pacific said, “Your creative design reflects all types of workplaces in Vietnam. It puts the people and their work in the centre. It emphasises the strength of tripartite collaboration.”
The “Ceramic Road” mural runs for four kilometres along the dyke of the Red River in celebration of the Thang Long-Hanoi millennium and it has been recognised by the Guiness Book of Records as the longest mural of its kind./.
