Permanent Representative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva, H.E. Erzhan Kazykhan, held a courtesy call with the Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Mr Gilbert F. Houngbo.

During the meeting, the Ambassador conveyed warm greetings from the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, H.E. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s unwavering commitment to strengthening its strategic partnership with the ILO.

Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of the Director-General’s historic visit to Kazakhstan in September 2024 – the first such visit by an ILO head since the country joined the Organization in 1993.

The interlocutors highlighted the joint achievements, including the successful implementation of the 2024–2025 Roadmap on Decent Work and the recent ratification of ILO Convention No. 131 concerning Minimum Wage Fixing.

Both sides underlined the central role of tripartism and social dialogue in Kazakhstan’s labour policy and expressed readiness to further deepen cooperation.
