It is important to continue removing barriers in the EAEU and scaling up the Union State best practices, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Bakytzhan Sagintayev in Minsk on 26 February, BelTA has learned.
"Belarus and Russia would like the EAEU to learn more from the Union State and adopt its best practices that might fit the EAEU," the head of state said.
This is, however, not the main thing, he said. “The main thing is that we have a number of problems in our economic union that need to be addressed. They are all of economic nature. We would like to see all sorts of barriers that still, unfortunately, exist in our country, removed, and this should be done during your chairmanship, since Kazakhstan itself plays a very important role in the union. We need to agree on energy issues so that the states have equal opportunities. We need common markets for gas and oil. We need to create a common market. You see how the situation is developing around us, and the very circumstances push us to closer cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union,” the Belarusian leader said.
