1. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. The Government indicates that there are currently no formal consultation procedures with representative organizations on the matters covered by the Convention. As required by Article 2 of the Convention, the Committee asks the Government to indicate the manner in which it intends to hold effective consultations between representatives of the Government, of employers and of workers on all the matters relating to ILO activities set out in Article 5, paragraph  1, of the Convention, with an indication of whether tripartite consultations on the matters covered by the Convention have been held in the Advisory Labour Commission.
