19th Ordinary Session of the OAU Labour Commission

"As your Commission is deliberating all these matters as contained in its agenda, I would like to recognize the importance of consolidating working relations and cooperation with the Organization of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU), the Pan-African Employers Confederation (PEG) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). In the light of the new challenges facing the world in general and our Continent in particular, I see the need for our institutions to review their working relations with the objective of adjusting them to meet the demands and aspirations of our people." - Dr. Salim, April 19, 1996
