MUSCAT: HH Sayyid Fahd bin Mahmood al Said, Deputy Prime Minister for the Council of Ministers, received on Tuesday Luc Triangle, Secretary-General of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). The guest is currently visiting the Sultanate of Oman to attend a symposium titled Towards a More Sustainable Social Dialogue, organised by the General Federation of Oman Workers. After welcoming the guest, HH Sayyid Fahd expressed the Sultanate of Oman’s appreciation for the constructive role undertaken by the ITUC in encouraging cooperation among trade unions worldwide. He also underlined the Sultanate of Oman’s full cooperation with the ITUC through the General Federation of Oman Workers, which seeks to protect workers’ interests, raise their productive efficiency, consolidate work values, develop their skills, refine their capabilities, and enhance their professional level. HH Sayyid Fahd pointed out that Oman places great importance on supporting the three parties to the production process—the government, represented by the Ministry of Labour; business owners, represented by the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI); and workers, represented by the General Federation of Oman Workers. This support aims to enable each party to fulfil its responsibilities in achieving the objectives defined by the Omani Labour Law, with the prime goal of improving the work environment and conditions for all workers in the country. The meeting reviewed cooperation between the Sultanate of Oman and the ITUC and explored ways to strengthen it across various areas. It also examined the potential for exchanging expertise in a manner that serves workers’ interests and contributes to sustaining the positive rates of comprehensive and sustainable development in Oman. For his part, the Secretary-General of the ITUC expressed his gratitude for the well-organised preparations for the symposium. He affirmed that Oman is one of the leading countries in regulating trade union work and protecting workers’ rights.
