MINSK, 27 June (BelTA) – The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is drawing international attention: some wish it well while others want it to falter or even fall apart, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Minsk on 27 June, BelTA has learned.
The president recalled that during the plenary session of the Eurasian Economic Forum, the heads of state began discussing pressing issues and strategies to deepen the Eurasian integration. There was a substantive exchange of views on the prospects for economic partnership. Assessments and visions for the union’s future were also voiced. “I am confident that the implementation of the ideas put forward will help strengthen the EAEU as a key integration platform in the post-Soviet space and as a pole of economic attraction on the international stage,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.
“Our union is attracting attention worldwide,” the head of state remarked. “Some wish us well and join our efforts. Others are waiting for the moment we stumble or even break apart. Which expectations will come true depends solely on us.”
