He confirmed that the new Labor Law No. 14 of 2025 was the result of wide societal consultation and aligns with international labor standards. Its goal is to achieve a balance between workers' rights and the interests of employers, taking into account emerging employment patterns such as remote work and digital platforms. The law focuses on strengthening workers' rights and providing legal guarantees for job security, in addition to regulating the relationship between employees and employers with fair dispute resolution mechanisms. He also explained that the ministry is implementing a plan to develop the vocational training system, linking it directly to market needs as part of investing in human capital. The digital labor market platform represents a qualitative leap in service delivery, facilitating procedures for citizens and business owners, thereby boosting the investment climate and labor market stability in line with the state's digital transformation goals.
