China's return to the council of the International Labor Office (ILO) will give it a big say in international labor issues, said a senior labor official.

Zhang Junjiu, vice-chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), said that since the recent election of Xu Xicheng, vice-chairman of ACFTU, as deputy member of the governingbody of the ILO at the 90th International Labor Conference, China has resumed its role in the council of the ILO after a 12-year break.

Zhang said that the ACFTU will continue to perform its duty forthe protection of the rights of workers and the building of the ILO, which will also contribute to China's reform and opening-up and to the country's diplomacy.

Xu said that the ACFTU's participation in ILO's council is a victory for China's working class.

Founded in 1919, the ILO is a specialized agency dealing with social and labor issues associated with the United Nations. It is the only UN organization that is composed of representatives from the "three parties" -- governments, workers and employers.
