ArmInfo.Coordinated actions to develop economies and industrial cooperation to enter third markets will help remove obstacles within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan stated at a video-conference meeting of thee Supreme Eurasian Economic Council.
"Our countries need to promptly adapt to the rapidly changing external and internal conditions. It is necessary to outline the strategic development of our Union after 2025, considering the aforementioned factors," he said.
He called for setting ambitious tasks and developing cooperation in new fields. Intensifying industrial cooperation, developing joint production and implementing innovation projects, as well as scientific and technological cooperation, will serve as links in the "invention-production" chain.
Armenia's premier also highlighted the importance of reducing risks posed by the unprecedented global economic challenges.
"We consider it advisable to develop pilot projects and implement joint measures to expand our trade and economic cooperation. Steady progress in the member-states requires constant cooperation with the business community," he said.
In the context of international cooperation, Mr Pashinyan said:
"I would like to emphasize Armenia's interest in a comprehensive free trade agreement between Iran and the EAEU. And the tentative agreement has demonstrated the Iranian market is attractive and prospects for further cooperation are available. We also want to start negotiations on a free trade agreement between the EAEU and Indonesia. We should continue broadening our international agenda for both the Union members and their partners to see the results of mutually beneficial cooperation," Armenia's premier said.
