The practice of social dialogue brings the parties together in free discussion and permits them to take and accept democratic decisions. As a result, one of our main concerns in Mongolia is to help strengthen the capacity of the three social partners. Labour administration in your country is being conducted by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. As you are well aware, the task is a demanding one. To spearhead the development of a modern labour administration requires considerable technical and financial resources.
Labour administrations are engines of social change.
Their work embraces labour inspection, industrial relations, training and research into labour issues. It also involves linking up with other agencies and institutions concerned with labour policy and law. I am pleased to offer the ILO's services to help your Government develop such a system of labour administration. To begin, our experts could help work out a blueprint based on your country's special needs. To see it into action, Mongolia could then draw on the ILO's technical assistance in the form of policy advice, staff training and guidance in drafting laws.
