Bakytzhan Sagintaev, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, took part in a meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States in Moscow on October 8.
In particular, the meeting discussed key issues of strengthening integration cooperation in the Eurasian space.
Interaction with the CIS is a traditional priority of the Eurasian Economic Commission's international agenda. Two joint action plans have already been implemented with the Commonwealth Executive Committee, and a third joint plan is currently being implemented.
Since 2021, there has been continuous work to integrate the law of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Commonwealth regulatory framework in terms of eliminating collisions between the draft regulations developed within the EAEU and the CIS.
Sectoral dialogue with CIS entities is being developed in such areas as antitrust policy, standardization and uniformity of measurements, electric power industry, consumer protection, and statistics.
The Eurasian space has unique trade, economic, transportation and logistics advantages. Combining the potentials of the EAEU and CIS players can multiply the effect of this cooperation.
The dialogue between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the CIS Executive Committee began in 2012 with the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation. In November 2018, the parties signed a Memorandum on Deepening Interaction.
