📅 On December 9, President of Russia Vladimir Putin took part in a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Bishkek.
💬 President Putin: First of all, I would like to join the words of gratitude addressed to the President of Kyrgyzstan and thank all our Kyrgyzstani friends for the work they have done during their EAEU chairmanship.
☝️ This year, our integration association has performed effectively and continued to grow steadily.
<...>
Uninterrupted trade in all vital goods in the EAEU has been ensured, by the way, including, as I have already said, food, and also energy.
Meanwhile, work has accelerated in the transition to national currencies in mutual settlements. The process of creating a common payment infrastructure and integrating national systems for the transmission of financial information has begun.
🇷🇺 Russia will assume the chairmanship the Eurasian Economic Union. Let me give you a broad summary of what we consider to be our future priorities:
🔹 to update the strategic benchmarks of EAEU development;
🔹 to strengthen the technological sovereignty of the EAEU member states;
🔹 to continue efforts to jointly introduce information technologies;
🔹 to build up investment cooperation;
🔹 to expand scientific, technical and educational contacts.
❗️ The Eurasian Economic Union and our integration work in general are attracting the attention of more and more international players, and many foreign states are interested in developing ties with our association. I will not repeat everything now but will just say that I fully agree with the proposals of our colleagues to expand this work, including with regional structures, such as the #SCO and #ASEAN.
Russia welcomes the invigoration of the EAEU’s international business ties and contacts. It will help further expand the range of preferential and non-preferential agreements with foreign partners.
