Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has expressed government's commitment to bolstering labor welfare and harmonizing domestic labor legislation with global standards.

In his message on International Labor Day today (Wednesday), he honored the immense sacrifices of the workers who laid their lives while waging a relentless struggle for their rights.

The Prime Minister said enhancement of occupational safety and health across various sectors remains a top priority for our government.

He said we will soon be convening the inaugural National Tripartite Labour Conference with a special focus on safety and health.

The Prime Minister praised the invaluable contributions of those workers who work day and night in the fields, factories and elsewhere to feed their families and are driving force behind Pakistan’s progress.

Shehbaz Sharif said we will continue our endeavours to improve the working and living conditions of our workers by further promoting their welfare through better housing, education, healthcare and social security benefits.
