22 Jul 2025 EEC report on impact of Eurasian integration on Sustainable Development Goals presented to UN The main findings of the second EEC Report on the impact of the Eurasian economic integration on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Eurasian Economic Union countries were presented at the UN Headquarters in New York. Arzybek Kozhoshev, the EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure, presented the report's theses at two key platforms of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). Speaking during the HLPF general debate, Arzybek Kozhoshev noted the EAEU role as a dynamically developing integration association. Along with that, the deepening of the Eurasian economic integration serves as a significant additional factor contributing to the achievement of the SDGs by the Eurasian “five” countries. “The EAEU successful functioning with a single market uniting more than 185 million consumers and consistent implementation of agreed economic policies have become a catalyst for economic growth. The aggregate GDP of the EAEU countries grew by 4% by the end of 2024, and for the second year in a row it was above the global average,” Arzybek Kozhoshev noted. Arzybek Kozhoshev developed the theme of the regional dimension of sustainable development at the session “Regional Perspectives on SDG Implementation”. He presented the EAEU experience as a vivid confirmation which demonstrates the importance of cooperation at the regional level in addition to national strategies to achieve the global goals.  The EEC Minister informed about the Commission's methodology for monitoring the progress – the “Regional List of SDG Indicators”. He also emphasized that the implementation of long-term development strategies of the Union will be aimed at achieving a wider range of SDGs. This entails the Declaration on further development of economic processes within the EAEU until 2030 and for the period up to 2045 “The Eurasian Economic Path”.  Arzybek Kozhoshev informed about the Commission's plans to continue analyzing the impact of integration on the SDGs and share its results with the international community, therefore contributing to the global efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. The HLPF under the auspices of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is the central UN platform for reviewing progress towards the SDGs. The “Regional List of SDG Indicators”, a comprehensive tool that includes 130 indicators (67 of which are specific to the Eurasian integration priorities), makes it possible to conduct an in-depth analysis of the relationship between integration processes and the dynamics of achieving the SDGs.
18 Jul 2025 Arzybek Kozhoshev met with UN Under-Secretary-General On July 17, Arzybek Kozhoshev, the EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure, met with Ms. Rabab Fatima, UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, at the UN Headquarters in New York. Arzybek Kozhoshev expressed his commendation for the intense and continuous activities that the High Representative's Office is conducting for vulnerable groups of States and emphasized the importance of the UN efforts to promote the international agenda on transport connectivity. During the meeting, the two sides discussed priority issues of sustainable transport development, regional integration, and expanding trade and economic opportunities for landlocked countries. The Minister has noted that the EEC attaches key importance to shaping a common transport space, eliminating infrastructural and administrative barriers, as well as fostering digital transformation of logistics. Summing up the meeting, Arzybek Kozhoshev expressed his hope that the exchange of views would lay the foundation for long-term and constructive cooperation between the EEC and the High Representative's Office. The Office of the United Nations High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2001 to support a number of vulnerable States facing unique challenges in achieving sustainable development goals and fulfilling international obligations.
17 Jul 2025 Arzybek Kozhoshev held a working meeting with GEIDCO management Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, held a working meeting with Cheng Zhiqiang, Executive Secretary of the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO). During the meeting, the two sides discussed further development of international energy cooperation, promotion of sustainable technologies, and strengthening of strategic partnership in the global energy transition. They also touched upon a number of issues such as the global climate agenda and sustainable energy development, including accelerating the energy transition, digitalizing energy systems and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. "GEIDCO is making a significant contribution to meeting the rapidly growing global demand for electric power from clean and renewable sources. These efforts play a key role in attaining the UN Sustainable Energy for All Goal and in tackling climate change," Arzybek Kozhoshev mentioned. The EEC Minister pointed out that an important step on this path had been the signing of the "Eurasian Economic Path" Declaration, which defined the EAEU climate policy and low-carbon development goals until 2045. Summing up the meeting, the two sides expressed their willingness to continue the dialogue and expand practical cooperation.
16 Jul 2025 Arzybek Kozhoshev: "EAEU Energy Sector amidst Energy Transition: Challenges and Advantages" Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, delivered a report entitled "EAEU Energy Sector amidst Energy Transition: Challenges and Advantages" at the UN Headquarters (New York). The speech was part of the event "Accelerating Energy Transition in the Global South: Promoting Steady Economic Growth and Strategic Partnerships" held at the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF-2025). In his address, the EEC Minister has noted that in 2017 the world entered the phase of the fourth energy transition, where renewable energy sources, digitalization, energy-saving technologies are actively developing, and decarbonization processes are intensifying. In this context, balanced development of both traditional and renewable energy sources is important. Only such an approach can ensure both national and global energy security, the minister believes. Arzybek Kozhoshev emphasized the high energy potential of the "five" countries, mentioning that the EAEU has significant energy resources: 20% of the world's gas reserves, 20% of coal reserves, 7% of oil reserves, and 5% of the world's electric power generation. Special attention was paid to integration initiatives, including the creation of common markets for electric power, gas, oil and petroleum products, development of cross-border infrastructure, and coordination of the EAEU participating countries' climate agenda. Interaction with international partners and openness to joint projects are also among the priorities. The Minister expressed his commendation to the organizers of the Forum and the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) for their contribution to sustainable energy promotion, outlining practical interest in GEIDCO's experience.
