LoginQatar to Host Second Doha Dialogue on GCC-Africa Labor Mobility on October 5-6
Doha, October 01 (QNA) - The Ministry of Labor has announced that the Second Doha Dialogue on Labor Mobility, titled “From Commitment to Action: Advancing Fair and Sustainable Labor Mobility between Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)+ Countries", will be held in the United Republic of Tanzania on October 5 and 6.
The initiative is part of Qatar's efforts to promote international dialogue on labor mobility and develop frameworks for cooperation and partnership in this area.
In a statement, the Ministry said the dialogue will bring together representatives from more than 33 countries, including GCC states as well as African and Arab countries, along with Their Excellencies Ministers of Labor, representatives of the African Union Commission, the Executive Bureau of the GCC Council of Ministers of Labor and Social Affairs, international and regional organizations, experts, and academics.
The Doha Dialogue stems from an agreement between Qatar and the African Union and aims to establish common ground for dialogue and an effective consultative mechanism among GCC states, selected Arab countries, and African labor-sending countries.
The initiative seeks to facilitate the exchange of expertise and best practices, support regional cooperation, and foster partnerships to improve labor recruitment from African countries and promote fair inter-regional labor mobility through a permanent, shared, and non-binding platform led by states, with the participation of relevant organizations.
It also aims to strengthen human rights-based protection measures for African workers in GCC and Arab countries by ensuring safe and healthy working environments that comply with occupational health and safety standards at workplaces.
Qatar launched the inaugural Doha Dialogue on Labor Mobility in 2024. The initiative seeks to implement best practices that strengthen regional cooperation, enhance partnerships to improve the recruitment of workers from African countries, and promote fair inter-regional labor mobility. (QNA)
