TSAGHKADZOR, AUGUST 24, ARMENPRESS. The Eurasian Economic Union is developing well despite all challenges and the difficult international situation, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said at the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council session.
He said that the sustainable growth in trade turnover within the union is one of the achievements.
“I believe that the economy is indeed very important. We are now focused on implementing the EEU 2020-2025 development strategy. We are now working on a project, the St. Petersburg Declaration proposed by Russia. Of course, this is a very interesting project, and many provisions are acceptable. I think there is a positive approach regarding the project but there are nuances that need to be discussed,” Pashinyan said.
The Armenian PM added that the positions of EEU members somewhat differ in terms of the further integration.
“Overall, there is a chance to find a concrete solution and it is very positive that all our colleagues have a positive approach. There are nuances regarding the further development of the Eurasian Economic Union, the creation of a single gas and energy market and coordination of our governments’ credit and financial policy are of highly principled significance. We too are very closely working around this issue. Our main goal is to develop the economies of our countries, to increase the level of welfare of our citizens. I think that in this area the Eurasian Economic Union has great interest. We see certain signals that show other countries are also interested in further developing relations with the Eurasian Economic Union,” Pashinyan added.
