Key trends in the transport sector in the EAEU were discussed by Arzybek Kozhoshev, EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure, and Valery Mashkov, Director General of the Russian “Scientific and Research Institute of Road Transport” (NIIAT), on May 15.

The EEC Minister informed on forming a single transport space and establishing a common market for transport services in the EAEU.
