He called the formation of the social component of Eurasian integration as an important factor in ensuring sustainable economic growth. “The focus of our attention should be on the issues of increasing effective employment, protection of workers, economic aspects of cooperation on the social block of issues,” the prime minister added.
This year marks an important date - the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. A suggestion was made to produce a thematic video. “This memory should be cherished to prevent the revival of Nazism, which again raises its head and becomes a threat to humanity,” Roman Golovchenko stressed.
