His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Labour Market Regulatory Authority, Mr Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan, met on Sunday at the Ministry with Mr Mohammed Jabali Al Maraghi, Chairman of the Land Transport Union of the sisterly Arab Republic of Egypt, in the presence of Mr Yaqoob Yousef Mohammed, Chairman of the Executive Council of the Bahrain Free Labour Unions Federation (Al Hurr). During the meeting, the parties discussed enhancing cooperation in the labour sector, exchanging technical expertise related to workforce development, and contributing to advancing development and renaissance in the two brotherly countries under their wise leadership. Humaidan briefed Mr Al Maraghi on the latest developments in the Kingdom’s labour market and the achievements recorded on the labour front, particularly the consolidation of the foundations of trade‑union work and the gains realised during the prosperous era of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the country's great King, may God protect and preserve him. He affirmed the Government’s keenness to support trade‑union activity and facilitate the work of its organisations so they can continue to defend workers’ interests and rights, noting that any gain for workers is positively reflected in the work environment, its development, and productivity levels. For his part, Mr Al Maraghi praised the development and growth witnessed by Bahrain’s labour market and the labour gains achieved at all levels. He highlighted the Kingdom’s experience in trade‑union work and underscored the importance of constructive cooperation among the three parties of production, which contributes to the stability, development, and prosperity of establishments. He called for further coordination and joint work between the trade‑union federations in both brotherly countries, to the benefit of all.
