Vietnam and Cambodia strengthen trade union co-operation

August 1, 2009

Vietnam and Cambodia should strengthen trade union co-operation, in line with the current global trend to emphasise the necessity of co-operation and association among trade unions.

Standing Vice President of the Vietnam Confederation of Trade Unions (VCTU) Nguyen Hoa Binh stated this while receiving a delegation from the Cambodian Confederation of Trade Unions (CCTU) led by its Vice President, Chuon Momthol, in Hanoi on July 31.

The Cambodian guest highly praised the operations of Vietnamese trade unions and expressed the wish to learn from Vietnam’s experiences in protecting labourers’ legitimate rights and interests, salary policies and measures to create jobs amid the global economic crisis.

He also thanked for the VCTU’s assistance in infrastructure and personnel training for the CCTU.

During its stay in Vietnam, the CCTU delegation worked with the Hanoi Federation of Labour and the trade union organisation of the industry and trade sector. (VNA)
