Interaction in the CIS format should be synchronized with integration processes in Greater Eurasia, in particular within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said addressing the CIS summit, BelTA has learned.
It is necessary to find ways to align the capacities of our countries with major international projects, first of all, the Silk Road Economic Belt. Belarus is already part of it as it is developing the Chinese-Belarusian Industrial Park Great Stone, the Belarusian leader said.
Alexander Lukashenko is convinced that an inclusive dialogue between the CIS and the Eurasian Economic Union will contribute to stable relations between the CIS states.
The head of state suggested asking CIS Executive Secretary Sergei Lebedev and Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Tigran Sargsyan to ramp up preparations for signing an updated memorandum to enhance engagement between the EEC and the CIS Executive Committee. “This document will enable our CIS partners to get information about Eurasian integration development timely and in full and to have an objective picture of cooperation opportunities across priority avenues,” the Belarusian president said.
