Development of industrial cooperation should become one of the main economic tasks on the common agenda of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), stated Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Askar Mamin, Trend reports with reference to the press office of the prime minister.
He made the statement during a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan.
Thus, within the framework of the meeting 15 issues on the agenda for the further development of integration processes, increasing trade and economic cooperation, and removing barriers in the EAEU domestic market have been considered.
“Currently, work is underway to implement the provisions of the Treaty on the EAEU on pressing issues of cooperation, to develop a draft strategic directions for the development of Eurasian economic integration until 2025,” Mamin said.
According to him, given the prevailing conditions in the global economy, in order to have a positive effect on the growth of the economies of the EAEU countries, special attention should be paid to the development of industrial cooperation. This direction should become one of the main economic tasks on the common agenda of the EAEU.
