Mohammad Zahed Ahmadzai, Afghanistan’s Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, met with Ramin Behzad, the head of the International Labour Organization (ILO), to address critical employment issues and job creation initiatives. The meeting, which took place earlier this week, focused on several key aspects of Afghanistan’s labour market and collaborative efforts with the ILO.
According to a statement released by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the discussion covered a range of employment-related topics, including strategies for enhancing job opportunities and tackling unemployment. Both Ahmadzai and Behzad expressed their commitment to improving the labour market and emphasized the need for effective measures to generate sustainable employment.
In addition to employment issues, the meeting highlighted the successful organization and completion of the National Labor Conference in Kabul. The conference, which was praised by both parties, was recognized for its role in addressing labour challenges and fostering dialogue among stakeholders. The event served as a platform for discussing labour policies, sharing best practices, and developing actionable strategies to improve the employment landscape in Afghanistan.
Behzad’s visit underscored the ILO’s ongoing support for Afghanistan’s labour sector and its efforts to collaborate with national authorities in addressing labour market challenges. The ILO, an international organization dedicated to promoting decent work and labour rights, has been instrumental in providing guidance and resources to help countries develop effective employment policies.
The meeting between Ahmadzai and Behzad reflects a shared commitment to advancing labour market reforms and creating job opportunities in Afghanistan. As the country continues to navigate economic and social challenges, the partnership with the ILO is expected to play a crucial role in shaping and implementing strategies to enhance employment and workforce development.
