PHNOM PENH – Cambodia’s Labour Ministry has signed an agreement with the US-based Solidarity Center, which will focus on protecting workers’ rights in sectors such as garment manufacturing.
The NGO, formerly known as the American Center for International Labour Solidarity, sought out closer ties with Cambodian authorities to strengthen the implementation of labour-related practices in the country.
Cambodia’s minister of labour and vocational training, Ith Sam Heng, met with the Solidarity Center’s programme director William Conklin to finalise the partnership, which he said reaffirms the United States as an important partner.
