Amman, August 5 (Petra) – President of the Economic and Social
Council, Musa Shteiwi, and International Labour Organization (ILO)
expert Amin Wreidat explored on Wednesday expanding cooperation on
labor market issues.

Shteiwi pointed to the council’s role as a national dialogue platform
bringing together the government, employers, and workers to build
consensus on socioeconomic policies, support decision-making, and
promote decent work standards.

He stated the council’s eagerness to broaden its partnership with the
ILO, leverage international expertise to update labor legislation,
and enhance social protection and workplace safety.

Wreidat, who is in Jordan to assess the country’s labor inspection,
occupational safety, and health systems, lauded the council’s efforts
to foster social dialogue and involve stakeholders in labor policy
discussions.

He said the ILO is committed to supporting the Kingdom’s national
initiatives to align labor inspection and safety frameworks with
international standards.

Both sides agreed to maintain coordination to improve Jordan’s work
environment, update labor policies, and boost economic
competitiveness and sustainable development.
