Russia’s Putin positively assesses cooperation within EAEU
Russian President Vladimir Putin positively estimated the cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member-states at the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Bishkek on Friday, TASS Russian news agency reports.
"I should note that the cooperation within the EAEU is successfully developing as together we have achieved certain results in the formation and strengthening of the large common market with general rules for economic operators," Putin said, adding that the EAEU common market has functioned as an airbag.
In Putin’s words, the market has contributed to the development of engineering sector in Kazakhstan. In Kyrgyzstan, conditions are being created to promote textile industry and Armenia has seen increase in agricultural product exports to Russia.
"One of the key tasks is to consistently lift barriers hindering the free float of goods, workforce, services and capital," Russian president said, adding that the EAEU countries still face these challenges, which, according to him, will gradually lifted by 2025.
