The fifth tripartite regional seminar on industrial relations in the ASEAN region held in Hanoi on February 27 with the participation of government representatives, employers and employees from ASE AN countries.
The two-day seminar, part of ASEAN-International Labour Organisation (ILO)/Japan Project, is themed “Social dialogue and labour law reform on the legal and regulatory framework”.
Addressing the event, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Thanh Hoa, said that Vietnam , together with ASEAN members, has done its utmost to build balanced and sound industrial relations, including enhancing supervision of businesses to ensure labour interests.
