Doha, Qatar: Under the auspices of the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, Doha hosted Thursday the ministerial session of the 6th Islamic Conference of Labour Ministers (ICLM), convened under the theme: "Local Experiences, Global Achievements: Success Stories from the Islamic World."

The meeting was chaired by Minister of Labour and Chair of the 6th ICLM HE Dr. Ali bin Samikh Al Marri, following Qatar's election by OIC member states. The meeting brought together ministers, heads of delegations from OIC countries, representatives of international and regional organisations, experts, academics, and civil society actors.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Al Marri underscored the critical juncture at which the conference takes place, amid mounting economic and social pressures, rapid technological shifts, climate-related challenges, supply chain disruptions, and evolving political dynamics affecting human security and livelihoods.

He stressed that the ICLM embodies the collective commitment of OIC member states to harmonize efforts in advancing labour policies, employment strategies, and social protection measures, ensuring justice, dignity, and opportunity for all citizens across the Islamic world.
