Amman, May 22 (Petra) - Acting Director General of the Social Security Corporation (SSC), Dr. Jadallah Khalayleh, affirmed the corporation's "full readiness" to provide its expertise and capabilities to assist Palestinian side in developing retirement and social security mechanisms and improving their benefits and procedures.

Khalayleh's stance came during a meeting with an official Palestinian delegation, headed by Palestinian Minister of Labor, Inas Attari, to review the SSC's experience in the fields of social protection, insurance, and programs.

In a press statement on Thursday, Khalayleh said the SSC has contacted the Palestine Pension Fund Authority (PPFA) over the past years to highlight its experiences in this field, stressing the corporation's "continued" efforts to strengthen and sustain its partnership with Palestinian side and offer insurance and technical expertise.

Khalayleh stated the SSC has kept pace with developments regionally and globally and has made "remarkable" strides in social insurance and e-services areas to insured persons and retirees.

For her part, Attari said the 'brotherly and historic" bilateral relations are paving the way for "more effective" cooperation in the social protection field.

Expressing gratitude for the SSC's support and training provided under the previous partnership agreement with PPFA, she hoped to maintain implementation of the two bodies' memorandum of understanding to benefit from their "rich" experience in the social insurance area.

After reviewing the SSC's "rich" experience, she said the main focus is setting the appropriate date for launching a Palestinian social security body, as well as the stages and factors that would facilitate its promotion drive and mechanisms for planning, implementation, and follow-up.
