Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said on Sunday that the government is fully committed to adopt all measures including strengthening of labour laws for welfare and improvement in living standards of workers and their families.

"I truly believe that our workforce is an extremely important pillar of society, playing a pivotal role in its socio-economic development," he said in his message on the Labour Day being celebrated across the world today (Monday).

Prime Minister stressed that the contributions of the workforce of Pakistan must be recognised.

He said that Labour Day is celebrated all over the world on the 1st of May every year to honour the workers for their long and arduous struggle. He said that 1st May provides an opportunity to recognise and pay tributes to the contributions the workers have made to progress, prosperity and well-being of their respective countries.

"Our goals of fast and inclusive growth leading to a modern and industrialised economy can only be achieved through a committed, hardworking and skilled workforce," he said.

"In this regard, I congratulate members of our workforce, in both the private and public sectors, for their contribution and untiring struggle," the PM said.

He said that our belief in the dignity of labour is stronger than ever and we are cognizant that only a prosperous and happy workforce can enable Pakistan in realising its full potential and compete in today's highly competitive globalise market economy.

"Workers and employers are our social partners," the PM said, reaffirming the Government's commitment to protect the dignity of labour and pay special tribute to them for their concerted struggle and the indispensable role they have played in the nation's socio-economic progress.

He extended his heartiest congratulations and earnest wishes to the entire workforce in Pakistan.
