Within the framework of ASEM a fruitful and intensive dialogue on employment and social policies has been taking place during the last decade. Since 2006, four ASEM Labour and Employment Ministers Conferences (ASEM LEMC) have been held: ASEM LEMC1 (2006, Potsdam, Germany);  ASEM LEMC2 (2008, Bali, Indonesia); ASEM LEMC3 (2010, Leiden, the Netherlands); ASEM LEMC4 (2012, Hanoi, Viet Nam). 

The Hanoi Ministerial Declaration of 2012 is focused on employment and social protection as a key to sustainable and inclusive growth, recommending policies in the sphere of employment, decent work, social protection, corporate social responsibility (CSR), health and safety at work.

To continue along this successful path, the Bulgarian Ministry of Labour and Social Policy will host the ASEM LEMC5, on 3-4 December 2015 in Sofia. The Conference is jointly organised with the European Commission.

The 5th ASEM Labour and Employment Ministers' Conference (ASEM LEMC5) will be held under the theme: Towards Sustainable Social Development in Asia and Europe: A joint Vision for Decent Work and Social Protection.
