(Phnom Penh): The ILO-Korea Partnership Programme organised a workshop on “Research Validation and Consensus Building on Strengthening the Capacity of Labour Dispute Prevention and Resolution Mechanisms in Cambodia” on 5 March 2026.

The event was presided over by Sovann Vannaroth, Permanent Secretary of State at the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, and attended by Shin Hochul, Chief Technical Advisor of the ILO–Korea Partnership Programme, along with representatives from relevant institutions and stakeholders.

Sovann Vannaroth praised the progress of the project aimed at strengthening Cambodia’s labour dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms. She said the workshop served not only to review the research team's work and provide technical and policy feedback, but also to develop practical plans addressing three key priorities: research, policy, and implementation.

“Those in the private sector and employees working within the system need timely solutions to ensure the continued improvement of professional and labour relations between staff and management,” she said.

Shin Hochul noted that the workshop focused on reviewing the interim progress of the research and gathering constructive feedback from partners and key stakeholders.

The workshop brought together Cambodia’s tripartite constituents, including policymakers, the Korea Labour and Employment Service (KLES), researchers, and other stakeholders, to ensure the research remains relevant and aligned with the project’s objectives.

Participants also discussed preliminary research findings and provided input to strengthen the study’s policy relevance. The event further aimed to enhance cooperation and build mutual trust among tripartite partners while offering strategic guidance for the next phases of the project.
