A | Colombo, Oct 15 (UNI) Sri Lanka has sought support from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to assist the government’s initiative to establish a digital database of the country's labour workforce, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena pointed out that the Labour Ministry has taken steps to establish a comprehensive digitised database of the workforce and urged the ILO to assist in expediting the process, the Daily Mirror reported.
This was discussed when ILO Country Director Simrin C Singh and ILO Headquarters Senior Employment Specialist Sher Verick called on the Prime Minister this week.
The ILO received a first-hand briefing on the impact of the Covid pandemic and economic crisis on the labour workforce and the short-term and long-term steps taken by the government to recover the economy and to help the workers, especially the low-income labour force.
During the meeting, Singh pointed out that despite some signs of positive trends, most developing countries, including Sri Lanka, were faced with difficulties, due to global recession, limited fiscal space, debt sustainability challenges and rising inflation.
The Prime Minister said the government was keen to make the labour workforce upwardly mobile and explained the multitude of training programmes launched for skill development.
The ILO delegation assured fullest support to all the efforts taken by the government for the well-being of the labour and measures for upgrading the skills of the workforce.

据伊朗国际电视台(iranintl)报道,当地时间8月23日,伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书雷扎伊在社交平台上发文表示,“如果这场经济战争持续下去,无论是通过霍尔木兹海峡,还是波斯湾其他任何地方,都将不会有一滴石油对外出口。”他强调,任何国家参与或支持美国对伊朗人民发动的经济战,伊朗都会将其视为战争行为。

B | 伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发言人穆赫比当天称,革命卫队已准备好应对美国的经济措施,即便华盛顿施压,伊朗依然能够维持贸易。他表示,伊朗针对美国各种敌对行动均已制定应对方案,“我们已有计划,化解敌人经济战带来的不利影响。”他指出,美国总统特朗普宣布对伊朗发起新一轮经济行动,相当于变相承认美国在军事层面已经失败。“我们就在美国的眼皮底下开展经济往来,绕过美国的限制,不久之后,大家就会看到相关成果。”穆赫比说。谈及美国对伊朗实施的海上封锁与经济行动,伊朗代理国防部长伊本·礼萨表示,“依靠伊朗青年与伊朗智慧,我们将渡过当前难关。”此外,伊本·礼萨还驳斥了特朗普将宣布霍尔木兹海峡为美国领土的言论,称特朗普 “话说得太多”(talks too much)。8月19日,特朗普在社交平台发文称,伊朗“未能抓住与美国达成协议的机会”,因此他宣布对伊朗实施“有史以来最严厉的经济行动”。他声称,这将是一次规模空前的“经济战和经济孤立”,旨在削弱伊朗的实力。
