Gilbert Houngbou, ILO Deputy Director-General for Field Operations and Partnerships, arrived here on Tuesday, ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Rana Plaza building collapse, said an official.
Hougbou is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, ministers, employers’ and workers’ organizations, ambassadors of different countries stationed in Dhaka, and representatives of initiatives involved in improving working conditions in the country’s ready-made garment (RMG) sector.
On Thursday, Houngbou will speak at a high-level event – ‘One Year after Rana Plaza: Progress and the Way Forward’ – to be organized by the Government of Bangladesh and ILO in the city to mark the commemoration of Rana Plaza Collapse.
