UNGA will be preceded by the Summit of the Future, taking place on 22 and 23 September, with Action Days on 20 and 21 September.
ILO Director-General, Gilbert F. Houngbo, will participate in the Summit and the subsequent UNGA High-Level Week, from 24 to 30 September, according to an ILO release.
International leaders will gather at the UN Headquarters in New York on 22-23 September to address the critical challenges and gaps in global governance highlighted by recent global shocks.
