SAINT PETERSBURG, 21 December (BelTA) – The items on the agenda of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting focus entirely on practical issues, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in narrow format in Saint Petersburg on 21 December, BelTA has learned.
“The items on the agenda of today’s meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council focus entirely on practical issues,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
The president outlined the need to develop approaches for boosting trade and economic cooperation with third countries for the upcoming five-year period. “Belarus fully supports the pursuit to find new partners among the states of the Global Majority and to advance into world regions that respect and welcome us,” the head of state stated.
The Belarusian leader identified boosting tourism cooperation as a key driver of economic growth for the five EAEU countries. A corresponding concept for the development of this area within the EAEU was prepared for the summit. The agenda also includes the approval of the EAEU budget for 2026.
The Belarusian president also highlighted another key item on the agenda: the EAEU chairmanship in 2026, which is to pass from Belarus to Kazakhstan. In this regard, Aleksandr Lukashenko congratulated the leader of that country Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. “I am confident that Astana’s chairmanship will bring new powerful impulses to the development of Eurasian economic integration, as it always has,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
