The online ceremony on presenting the instrument on the ratification of the ILO Convention No. 122 "On Employment Policy", signed by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Director-General of the International Labor Organization Guy Ryder took place in Geneva on April 14.

During the ceremony, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Turkmenistan to the United Nations Office in Geneva Atageldy Haljanov emphasized the commitment of our country to the constructive dialogue with authoritative international structures, in particular with the International Labour Organization.

As a full member of the ILO since September 1993, having ratified 10 conventions, 8 of which are fundamental ones, Turkmenistan fully supports the basic principles of the Organization, implementing the universally recognized norms of the ILO provisions into national legislation.

Over the years of its membership in the Organization and with the assistance provided by the ILO, Turkmenistan fulfills its obligations under the ILO Charter and has created a solid national legislative framework in the field of employment and labor protection, regularly submitting national reports on the application of the provisions of the ILO Conventions.

The policy of Turkmenistan on the implementation of ILO Convention No. 122 will consider the level of economic development, the relationship between economic and social goals, and will be implemented according to the national priorities.

Emphasizing that Turkmenistan has become the 115th country to ratify the Convention on Employment Policy, ILO Director-General Guy Ryder welcomed the efforts of our country to strengthen and improve the national legislative framework and steps to ratify the fundamental legal documents of the International Labor Organization.
