06 Dec 2023 Plan for developing Eurasian transport corridors approved The Eurasian Economic Commission's Board has approved a comprehensive plan for developing the Eurasian transport corridors until 2025. The document includes 10 measures and is aimed at implementing the key provisions of the EAEU transport policy, covering almost all aspects of the activities of the "five" countries and the Commission for transport infrastructure development. “This is a very important document for our countries. It is needed for further establishment of the EAEU common transport space, integration of the five countries' transport systems into the global transport system, fulfilling and developing transit potential within the Union," noted Arzybek Kozhoshev, EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure.  Elaboration of the comprehensive plan was a logical continuation of the work on creating and developing the Eurasian transport corridors, the list of which was approved by the Board's Disposition dated October 26, 2021. The document was prepared in accordance with the roadmap for implementing the Main Directions and Stages of the EAEU countries' coordinated transport policy for 2021-2023. This entails the elaboration of target indicators for developing the Eurasian transport corridors and preparing passports for these routes, as well as identifying and eliminating bottlenecks. When drafting the document, information on the EAEU countries concerning developing road, rail and port infrastructure included in the list of the Eurasian transport corridors was taken into account. In the future, it is planned to update the information on a permanent basis, which will make it possible to monitor the implementation of measures included in the plan.

24 Nov 2023 Arzybek Kozhoshev: “Cooperation on energy security issues is timely and important for the EAEU countries” level. The principles of energy security of the Eurasian Economic Union countries and the progress in establishing common energy markets were considered at the meeting of the Council of Heads of Authorized Energy Bodies of the EAEU countries. The meeting chaired by Arzybek Kozhoshev, EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure, was held at the headquarters of the Eurasian Economic Commission on November 23. The parties approved additional measures and deadlines for implementing measures aimed at launching and further functioning of the common energy market. An arrangement was reached that the Members of the Council of Heads would take measures to timely implement the items of the action plan aimed at establishing the EAEU common electric power market with due regard to the agreed changes. The meeting attendees have noted that ensuring energy security within the Union is also the most important priority for developing integration interaction, as was announced at the level of the Heads of countries and governments of the Eurasian “five”. In this regard, the Members of the Council of Heads considered possible options whereby the development of interaction between the EAEU States in the field of energy security is relevant. One such aspects is the project to create common energy markets. The cooperation areas include, inter alia, issues of maintaining synchronized operation of the Union countries' energy systems, self-sufficiency with energy resources, extending energy ties, technological sovereignty, exchange of experience and technologies, and others. It is planned that all this will be included in the Declaration on the main principles and directions of energy security and prospects of interaction at the EAEU "Cooperation on energy security issues is timely and important for the "five" countries. In the near future we should determine at the Commission's level the optimal formats of integration interaction in this field," Arzybek Kozhoshev noted. The meeting of the Council of Heads of Energy Bodies of the EAEU countries was attended by Tigran Melkonyan, Head of the Energy Department of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of the Republic of Armenia, Viktor Karankevich, Minister of Energy of the Republic of Belarus, Almasadam Satkaliev, Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Talaybek Baigaziev, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Kyrgyz Republic, and Nikolai Shulginov, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation.
20 Nov 2023 Arzybek Kozhoshev held meeting with Igor Petrishenko, Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Projects related to the energy markets and transport in the Eurasian Economic Union were discussed by Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, and Igor Petrishenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus and Member of the EEC Council. The meeting was held on November 17 in Minsk. Arzybek Kozhoshev informed on the activities in the supervised areas, and presented data on the progress of preparing a draft road map for implementing the Main Directions of the EAEU Countries' Transport Policy. This document will include activities for 2024-2026. The issues of infrastructural development were also touched upon, in particular, creating a mechanism for implementing priority integration infrastructure projects in the field of transport in the Union countries.  The parties noted significant progress on the project to establish the EAEU common electric power market. For example, three draft rules for the functioning of the Union's common electric power market were approved earlier by decisions of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council. These are the rules for access to interstate transmission of electricity (capacity), the rules for mutual trade in electric power and the rules for determining and allocating the capacity of interstate cross-sections. Besides, the trading platforms were determined and tasked with organizing centralized electric power trade under futures contracts and on a day-ahead basis. “Despite some difficulties, with the coordinating role of the EEC and the active assistance of the Ministry of Energy, we managed to find an option that would suit all the parties. The signed documents will serve the further establishment of the common electric power market," Igor Petrishenko noted. The EEC Minister emphasized the need to meet the scheduled deadlines for preparing acts that regulate common energy markets.  "We can note the high degree of preparation of the acts on common energy markets being elaborated in the Eurasian Economic Union. Nevertheless, it is important to focus efforts on adopting final decisions on unagreed issues of establishing energy markets," Arzybek Kozhoshev believes.
