Al-Qaderi calls for enhancing friendship and cooperation between countries of the world to serve workers’ issues
Secretary General of the International Federation of Arab Trade Unions, Head of the General Federation of Trade Unions in Syria, Jamal Al-Qaderi has stressed that the world is witnessing a conspiracy targeting all the countries that refuse to subjugate to the will of imperialism and that are proceeding in the path of development. He pointed out that this conspiracy aims at undermining the sovereignty and independent policies of these countries and their right to use their own resources in the service of their peoples.
In a statement during the opening ceremony of 18th Conference of the International Federation of Trade Unions being held in the Italian Capital, Rome, Al-Qaderi said that today, the world is experiencing unprecedented and extraordinary circumstances as world imperialism continues to target freedom and progress forces in this world by all possible savage weapons.
He added that the systematic crimes and the confusion of concepts the world is witnessing besides the law wages and the decrease of the gains that the workers have achieved over decades of struggle in various countries require an exceptional solidarity by true peace-loving forces at all levels.
He stressed the need to point to the real criminal who is responsible for the suffering of peoples around the world.
“It is our duty in this conference to expose those who claim that they are preserving world peace while, in fact they are igniting wars and feeding conflicts across the world. We should uncover the practices of the countries that support and sponsor global terrorism, which is hitting everywhere, and expose those who claim that they are combating this terrorism while they are funding and supporting it and fighting all the countries which actually seek uprooting terrorism,” Al-Qaderi clarified.
The war, the siege and the terrorism that Syria has been witnessing for more than a decade, in addition to the tragic events in other countries of the region due to foreign-backed terrorist gangs, indicates an imbalance in standards and a conflict in values and terminology.
He called for enhancing cooperation between the International Federation of Trade Unions and the International Federation of Arab Trade Unions based on friendship ties, mutual respect and common goals with the aim of serving the just causes of the working force in the Arab region and the world.
