BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Wang Zhaoguo, chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), met with foreign labor leaders who came to take part in the 2011 International Forum on Economic Globalization and Trade Unions on Tuesday.
During a meeting with executive directors of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Assane Diop and J.M. Salazar-Xirinachs, Wang said China's trade unions have always actively participated in activities organized by the ILO and are willing to play a bigger role in the ILO's decision-making process.
During another meeting with labor leaders from the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), the Organization of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU) and the International Confederation of Arab Trade Unions (ICATU), Wang reviewed the ACFTU's friendship and cooperation with those organizations.
He said the ACFTU will continue to work closely with those organizations and promote the healthy relations between international trade unions.
Noting that international trade union movements are confronting new challenges and problems, Wang called on the trade unions of the world to increase dialogue and coordination in an effort to meet these new challenges and safeguard the legitimate rights of the world's laborers.
China's trade unions are ready to work with international trade union organizations to promote a relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation and push international trade union movements in a more just and fair direction, he said.
The International Forum on Economic Globalization and Trade Unions was established in 2004 and aims to promote mutual understanding and cooperation between the world's trade unions in the context of economic globalization.
