RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s minister of labor and social development, Ahmad Al-Rajhi, will head the Kingdom’s delegation at a major international gathering in Geneva later this month.
Government, business and worker representatives will be among the Saudi party attending the 108th session of the International Labor Conference (ILC) taking place in the Swiss city from June 10 to 21.
The session will celebrate the centenary of the International Labor Organization (ILO), with the participation of leaders of the UN agency’s 187 member states.
Items for discussion will include the reports of the ILO’s president of the governing council, and its director-general, which will take in a global outlook on the future of labor.
The conference will review the ILO’s programs and budget for approval. It will also study a report on governments’ implementation of labor conventions, and surveys on global social protection, social justice and sustainable development.
The drafting and adoption of the ILO’s declaration for the centenary will be discussed along with other topics and events related to the jobs market, including efforts to end workplace violence and harassment.
On the sidelines of the conference, the Kingdom’s delegation will meet with representatives of other member states and participate in meetings of Gulf Cooperation Council, Asia Pacific and G20 countries.

Saudi Ambassador meets FM and praises close ties with Japan
- He said the relations between the two countries have been characterized by sincerity, honesty, and commitment
TOKYO: After meeting Japanese Foreign Minister MOTEGI Toshimitsu on the sidelines of the 19th Annual Japan International Manga Awards, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Japan Dr. Ghazi Faisal Binzagr says the Kingdom’s 70-year relationship with Japan is testament “to what trust between civilizations and countries can build.”
“In an increasingly turbulent world, relationships built on trust, respect and long-term vision remain part of a deeper path toward human stability,” he stated.
He said the relations between the two countries have been characterized by sincerity, honesty, and commitment, and reinforced through decades of communication between the leaders of the two countries.
He recalled the visit of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud in 2017, which, he said, ushered in a new era of cooperation through Vision Saudi-Japan 2030.
Ambassador Binzagr described Saudi Arabia’s ties with Japan as “one of the more important relationships in international relations, backed by honesty, trust, and unwavering commitment. I hope that the relationship between the two countries will continue to grow deeper on this foundation of trust.”
