16 Apr 2025 Obstacle related to restricted movement of EAEU Member States' citizens across Russian-Belarusian border removed On January 11, 2025, the Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Belarus on mutual recognition of visas and on other issues related to the entry of foreign citizens and stateless persons into the territories of the States parties to the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State dated June 19, 2020 entered into force. The Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus informed the Eurasian Economic Commission that citizens of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic currently have the practical possibility of entering the Russian Federation from the Republic of Belarus and leaving the Russian Federation for the Republic of Belarus via the international rail and air routes in use, as well as the roadways listed in the annex to the Agreement (six areas). Previously, citizens of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic could enter the Russian Federation from the Republic of Belarus and leave the Russian Federation for the Republic of Belarus only by air. Given the geographical proximity of the two countries it was costly and not always convenient. With the Agreement in force, citizens of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic can cross the Belarusian-Russian border both by road and rail transport. On April 15, 2025, the Board of the Commission considered removing the said obstacle. "Thanks to the joint work of the EAEU Member States and the Commission, citizens of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic have the possibility to move freely across the Russian-Belarusian border. Systemic work to remove obstacles in the EAEU internal market is ongoing and will continue. Undoubtedly, this circumstance will have a positive impact on implementing the freedom of movement of persons and labor resources between our countries, as well as will contribute to the development of domestic tourism in the Union," mentioned Varos Simonyan, EEC Minister in charge of Internal Markets, Informatization, Information and Communication Technologies.
31 Jan 2025 Bakytzhan Sagintaev: "The priority direction of digitalization in the EAEU is improving the quality of people's lives" Bakytzhan Sagintaev, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, spoke about the development of digitalization processes in the Eurasian Economic Union at the plenary session of the Digital Almaty 2025 forum. As the Head of the EEC Board noted, the Commission's efforts are focused on the implementation of the Digital Union concept. "Today, the integrated information system of the EAEU functions, being the technological foundation for Digital Union," said Bakytzhan Sagintaev. "Its consistent development leads to the formation of supranational infrastructure. This allows five different systems to be in the same ecosystem." At the same time, the EAEU continues to adhere to the principles of compatibility, synchronization, and integration, which do not affect the digital sovereignty of the Member States. This makes it possible to connect the best country decisions in digitalization with the possibility of their further scaling. Already now, technological solutions of the integrated information system ensure seamless interaction of national digital platforms. As a result, cross-border services can be provided in a trusted and secure environment. The Chairman of the EEC Board emphasized that today interstate electronic G2G, B2G and C2G interaction can be called full-scale. This was made possible by launching a secure data network and ensuring that common processes were put in place step-by-step. There are 77 common processes approved within the Five countries. Of these, 42 are put into operation. The Commission prepared 24 other common processes for launch. The remaining 11 processes will be prepared before the end of 2025. For example, the common process of maintaining a unified register of documents confirming product safety requirements has significantly reduced bureaucratic procedures for businesses. Talking about plus sides for individuals, for example, the employment duration of a citizen of one EAEU country is confirmed electronically in another one. There is a high demand from the population of the Member States for digitization of other processes and documents. Improving the quality of people's lives is a priority for digitalization in the Union. Within the framework of the forum, at the Commission's stand, Heads of Government of the EAEU countries gave a start to the operation of the trusted third party service of the Union's integrated information system. It allows to launch mutual recognition of electronic digital signatures, thereby facilitating cross-border electronic document flow for government agencies, businesses and citizens.

18 Nov 2016 Interview of the Minister in charge of Internal Markets, Information Support, Information and Communication Technologies of the EEC Karine Minasyan to Tass News Agency: "The risk of innovations should be encouraged in the EAEU” The Eurasian Economic Union became operational in 2015 and now comprises five countries: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. While Eurasian integration primarily focused on trade cooperation at its inception 20 years ago, since then the agenda has gradually expanded. Rapid information technology development provided the Union with new challenges. It soon became clear there was a need to regulate online trade, collaborate on legislation in the field of the Internet of Things, develop e-government communication systems, and create a venture funding market and jointly develop innovations in general. Therefore, this year a new area of activity was established in the Eurasian Economic Commission, the regulatory body of the EAEU. One of its main objectives is to build a common digital space and develop digital technologies. Karine Minasyan, Member of the Board - Minister in charge of Internal Markets, Information Support, Information and Communication Technologies of the EEC gave an interview to TASS New Agency on what is being done in this area at the Eurasian Week Forum and Expo in the run-up to the first anniversary of the establishment of the new direction of integration cooperation.​
