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.

"A developed and clear infrastructure of interaction between the Eurasian Economic Union and Thailand is established. The EEC and the Government of Thailand continue to implement the Memorandum of Cooperation concluded in 2018. There were two meetings of the joint working group. The key areas of cooperation of greatest interest are identified," told Mikael Belluyan, Director of the EEC Integration Development Department. He also noted that the EAEU-Thailand dialogue is open for businesses. Most of the events organized by the EEC, including those targeting ASEAN countries, are held for business audiences and enable direct communication between entrepreneurs. The Head of the Department noted the potentially priority areas of cooperation that could be drivers for developing the EAEU-Thailand dialogue featuring business circles. These are digitalization, industrial cooperation and food security, transport and logistics, and the financial services sector, including payment issues. In turn, Sunanta Kangwalkulkij, Director of the Department of International Trade Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of Thailand, positively assessed the opportunity of unlocking the high potential of trade and economic cooperation between Thailand and each of the EAEU states. The seminar focused on practical procedures of access to the EAEU market, trade policy, customs and tariff regulation in the Union, the potential for cooperation between the Member States and Thailand in the field of industry, transport and logistics. Representatives of Thai business circles shared positive examples of their operation in the EAEU market.
27 Jun 2025 EEF 2025 discussed potential of artificial intelligence and prospects of applying it in statistics The use of artificial intelligence in the field of statistics within the Eurasian Economic Union may become an additional impetus to strengthening the digital, technological and innovative potential of the EAEU statistical system. This idea was emphasized by Eldar Alisherov, Minister in charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission, in Minsk during the EEF 2025 round table "EAEU Statistics 2030: Potential and Prospects of Artificial Intelligence Application". "Successful implementation and reliable use of artificial intelligence in statistical activities requires the development of clear standards, transparency, data protection and concerted action by national statistical offices and international organizations," mentioned Eldar Alisherov. The round table participants agreed that the emergence and development of tools for analyzing statistical information based on artificial intelligence is one of the most important trends determined by the changing needs of official statistics. Artificial intelligence technologies can be applied at all stages of statistical production from data collection to dissemination of official statistics. "The current trend in sustainable development of the EAEU statistical system is the introduction of modern information technologies, including artificial intelligence, which will ensure a necessary level of operational efficiency given high growth rates of information and communication complexity of the tasks at hand," summed up Eldar Alisherov.

01 Dec 2015 Interview of the EEC Minister Danil Ibrayev to website Russianews.net: "We are protecting the interests of five states" Undoubtedly, Europe has heard of the Eurasian Economic Commission. But both the European Commission, and the Europeans themselves, cannot really imagine what it is, and in particular, whether it threatens the economic interests of the EU or whether it can become its partner. Is it the equivalent of the European Union, but it covers an even larger area, or the revival of the Soviet Union? We met with the Member of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Danil Ibrayev to clarify these questions.
