JICA President Akihiko Tanaka met with International Labor Organization (ILO) Director-General Gilbert F. Ngubo at JICA headquarters on April 24.
In his opening remarks, President Tanaka expressed his hope for further deepening cooperation with the ILO in areas related to “Business and Human Rights,” such as the protection of the human rights of migrant workers and the elimination of child labor, based on the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) signed in January 2023 with the ILO Office in Japan.
In response, Mr. Ngubo, Director-General of the ILO, stated that efforts in these areas are extremely important in the current global situation and that he would like to promote them in cooperation with JICA.
The two parties confirmed that they will continue to explore possibilities for collaboration in various areas, especially in the field of “Business and Human Rights,” while also working with the “Platform for Responsible Recruitment of Foreign Workers (JP-MIRAI)” and the “Sustainable Cacao Platform in Developing Countries. The meeting was held in Tokyo.
