Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today said the interim government is committed to carrying out sweeping labour reforms in an effort to attract more foreign buyers to the country.
The chief adviser made the comments when a big United States labour and brand delegation called on him to discuss labour issues at his office at Tejgaon.
“We want to make our labour laws at par with global standards. It is my commitment,” Prof Yunus told the delegation.
He said the interim government has appointed a special envoy only to reform the country’s labour laws and to address the concerns raised by the local and international labour rights groups, the International Labor Organisation and the western nations.
The delegation was led by Thea Mei Lee, the deputy undersecretary of the US Department of Labour, and Kelly Fay Rodriguez, Special Representative for International Labour Affairs of the US.বিস্তারিত
