CIS should focus on developing common economic space - Lukashenko
MINSK, May 28 - PrimePress. The governments of the CIS countries (CIS: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan) and the CIS bodies should focus on the development of the common economic space, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at a meeting with the participants of the CIS Heads of Government Council summit on 28 May.
“Let me say it straight: unless we deal with this matter in the near future, the Commonwealth of Independent States can hardly be efficient. More so, the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia) cannot be efficient either. The time has come to finally dot all the i’s and take a decision to build a true foundation for our inter-state relations. The foundation is the economy,” said Lukashenko.
In his words, successful economic integration is impossible without improvement of the CIS documents and their harmonization with the regulatory framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
Founded in 1991, the CIS is an international organization that includes some of the republics of the former Soviet Union. The CIS is not a supranational entity and functions on a voluntary basis. End
