Alexander Lukashenko noted that the CIS is a good platform for talks and negotiations, for addressing tactical issues. Meanwhile, the Eurasian Economic Union envisages a closer economic integration. “The Belarus-Russia Union State is an example of an even closer integration. It is a paragon and role model,” the Belarusian leader stressed. He added that many Belarus-Russia agreements served as a foundation in establishing the Eurasian Economic Community.
