The interim government is committed to implementing important labour reforms to take the country's labour laws to ILO standards, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus told Nirapon leaders yesterday (4 February). 

"We've already taken some moves. You will see the changes very soon," he added.

The leaders of Nirapon, which works to improve worker safety in hundreds of factories in Bangladesh, called on the chief adviser at the State Guest House Jamuna.

Representatives of top Western brands and retailers joined the meeting, said a press release of the Chief Adviser's Press Wing.

Lutfey Siddiqi, special envoy of the chief adviser, said the interim government has already signed an 18-point agreement with labour unions and manufacturers, which brought stability to the sector and helped boost garment exports.

Simon Sultana thanked the chief adviser for his efforts to initiate reforms in the garment industry. 

She noted that Nirapon, with its local partners BRAC and Amader Kotha, plays a leading role in developing and delivering innovative tools to enable factories to manage their safety.

Representatives of brands also expressed their satisfaction with the improving factory safety in the country.

Among others, Lamiya Morshed, senior secretary and principal coordinator on SDG affairs, and Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, chairman of Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), were present.
