ITF Asia/Pacific Region

In the Asia/Pacific region, priority has been given to organising the unorganised, to promoting trade union education and to organisation and linking the unions in the transport industries. The region is the second largest among the regions in the ITF after Europe, with a membership of more than one million. The ITF is growing in the Asia/Pacific in terms of membership, of the number of countries which have ITF affiliates and of the level of activities. There are currently two offices in the Asia/Pacific region in Tokyo and Delhi. While the Tokyo office has overall responsibility for regional activities, the Delhi office undertakes co-ordination of educational activities and acts as a sub-regional office. The two offices are headed by the Regional Secretary and Assistant Regional Secretary respectively.
