Speaking from Geneva, Miss Willis said it was befitting that LAB, which was a tripartite forum, should hold a special meeting on the occasion of the International Labour Conference.
It was particularly meaningful as one of the main discussion items of this year's conference was tripartite consultation on economic and social policy, she added.
Other items for discussion of the International Labour Conference included employment policy, home work and international labour standard. The Conference is attended by some 2,000 delegates from about 150 member countries of the International Labour Organisation.
