Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations Ambassador Rabab Fatima has sought greater international support for migrant workers to cope up with the Covid-19 job market and beyond.

She said re-aligning public and private financing is needed for creating better jobs, especially for people in vulnerable situations.

Ambassador Fatima was chairing a panel discussion jointly organised by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) on Thursday.

The theme of the discusison was "Leaving no one behind and building back better from Covid-19: The Future of Work in LDCs", according to the Bangladesh mission yesterday.

She said for unlocking the untapped potentials of global value chains for enhancing trade and investment, capacity building in the LDCs is essential.

This could be done by taking advantage of the evolving digital economy, said the ambassador.
