MINSK, 6 April (BelTA) - The International Labour Organization has postponed the upcoming session of the annual International Labour Conference for June 2021 due to the spread of COVID-19, BelTA learned from the website of the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The International Labour Conference meets once a year in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss key world of work issues, craft and adopt International Labour Standards and monitor their implementation.
