During her participation in the 50th Arab Labor Conference in Baghdad, Sonia Janahi calls for collaboration between the ILO and the Arab Labor Organization

Member of the Board of Directors of the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sonia Janahi, emphasized the importance of cooperation between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Arab Labor Organization to achieve social justice worldwide. This came during her participation in the events of the 50th session of the Arab Labor Conference in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, organized by the Arab Labor Organization.

Janahi stressed that social justice can only be achieved through fair and lasting peace, which highlights the importance of coordination between the international organization and regional organizations.  She underlined the necessity of taking into account the regional orientations of member states in the International Labour Organization when making decisions, especially regarding sensitive issues such as the project on the right to strike. She explained that it is wise and prudent not to transfer the proposal's approval to the International Court of Justice, and it is necessary to discuss and vote on it in the General Assembly of the ILO.

In another context, Janahi expressed her deep concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and called on the international community to make more efforts to stop the violence and provide assistance to the Palestinian people. She also emphasized the importance of rehabilitating the Palestinian workforce and supporting Palestinian entrepreneurs.

Concluding her address, Janahi called for a reconsideration of traditional funding patterns for entrepreneurial projects and suggested benefiting from the experiences of other countries in this field, such as the "orange economy" that relies on knowledge and creativity.

It is worth noting that the conference was attended by Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani, Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, Ahmed Al-Asadi, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs and President of the conference, Mr. Fayez Ali Al-Mutairi, Director-General of the Arab Labor Organization, as well as representatives of the three production parties in the Arab countries.
