CLOSING STATEMENT
BY
MR. SUKESADA ITO
VICE-CHAIRPERSON (WORKERS)

Mr. Chairperson, distinguished delegates and Ladies and Gentleman, I am very much pleased to end this meeting with great success and would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Somavia and ILO Geneva staff, Mr. Nodera, Director of Asian Regional Office and Asian Regional Office Staffs and also Ms. Nicole de Warlincourt, without sincere and efficient collaboration from these staffs, we can never end this Meeting with successful and constructive outcome.

I am honored to be appointed to the Vice Chairman of this Meeting likewise the previous twelfth Regional Meeting. I will assure you that I don’t spare any efforts to contribute to the creation and implementation of the Decent Work and the development of Asia and Pacific Region. Now we have just adopted the conclusion on the basis of the consensus and the constructive collaboration by all three groups.

I expected that the almost all the contents of the conclusion of this 13th meetings will be achieved by our at-most efforts during 4 years and we can start to challenge new subject in the next meeting. Now I recognized there is no presence of the government of Myanmar at this Meeting. We have to encourage the government of Myanmar in order to solve the problem of the forced labor. The Government, Employers and Workers all three social partners collaborate and strengthen the solidarity to realize the full participation of all the constituents in this region to the next Regional Meeting.

The last but not least, I would like to extend my hearty thanks to the Kingdom of Thailand government, officials and all staffs of this country for organizing such a splendid and unforgettable Meeting.

I wish you all the best and Bon Voyage.
