First Eurasian

The EAC (Eurasian Economic Commission) Minister for Integration and Macroeconomics Sergei Glazyev discussed the organization and preliminary program of the first Eurasian Economic Forum with the leadership of Kyrgyzstan. A high-level international event is being prepared to be held in Bishkek in May this year. The forum will bring together delegations from the EAEU countries in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, and, as expected, not only representatives of business circles and government agencies, but also the heads of states that are members of the integration association will be able to take part in it.

Sergey Glazyev visited Bishkek as the head of the Program Committee of the Eurasian Economic Forum. According to him, the EEC sets the main goal of the expected discussions to develop proposals for expanding ties between the members of the EAEU and optimizing investment cooperation. Much attention, according to the minister, will be given to innovative projects that could become symbols of Eurasian integration. In parallel, the forum plans to hold an exhibition of the best achievements of the EAEU member states.

- This will be the first Eurasian Economic Forum, and it is important to hold it at the highest level, - Sergei Glazyev emphasized.

In addition to representatives of the states that are members of the EAEU, delegations from third countries can take part in the forum. According to official sources in the Kyrgyz Republic, these are the main trading partners of the Eurasian Union and states interested in strengthening ties with the integration association. Among them are China, Iran, India, Turkey, Serbia, as well as the countries of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. Businessmen from certain EU countries are also expected to attend the forum.

The decision to create such a representative platform was made at the end of 2019 at the highest level. The heads of the EAEU states agreed to hold the forum annually on the territory of the countries that assume the chairmanship of the union, but the pandemic interfered with the plans.
