Saudi Arabia has been elected as a titular member of the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) governing body until 2024.
Elections for ILO memberships were held on Monday as part of the 109th session of the International Labour Conference, which is currently being virtually held until June 19.
Saudi Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Ahmed Al-Rajhi said “the Kingdom’s election to the ILO’s governing body is an outcome of the Saudi leadership’s continuous support to the labor market and workers in the Kingdom, especially in facing the unprecedented challenges related to the pandemic, in addition to the Kingdom’s successful G20 presidency last year. This election reflects the growing confidence the Kingdom enjoys regionally and internationally, especially in the field of consolidating labor values, and the appreciation and recognition of the ILO member states of its efforts and achievements on the international labor front…”
Saudi Arabia has served as a deputy member between 2017 and 2020. Its tenure was exceptionally extended for an additional year due to the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
