DHAKA, May 2 (Xinhua) -- May Day was observed on Thursday in Bangladesh with a fresh vow to establish the rights of workers.
Various public, private organizations and political parties hosted conferences, seminars, marches and walks to honor laborers' contributions.
National newspapers in Bangladesh published special supplements marking the day, which is a public holiday here.
This year, the theme of the day in Bangladesh is "Workers and owners united; Let's rebuild this country anew."
The main program of the day was held in the Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Center in Dhaka, with Bangladeshi interim government's Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus inaugurating the program.
In a message marking both the May Day 2025 and the country's National Occupational Health and Safety Day, Yunus said, "May Day holds immense significance in fostering economic growth through friendly and collaborative relationships between workers and employers."
He emphasized the pivotal role of worker-employer harmony in driving the nation's economic progress and reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring fair recognition and social protection for all workers. ■
