05 Sep 2025 Andrey Slepnev: "The Eurasian Economic Union is an important link of the Greater Eurasian Partnership" This was stated by Andrey Slepnev, Minister in charge of Trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission, speaking at the session "The Greater Eurasian Partnership: New Paradigms for the Continent's Development" during the 2025 Eastern Economic Forum. "Today we can confirm that the Greater Eurasian Partnership (GEP) idea declared by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin enjoys substantial and growing support. It is especially obvious nowadays, in difficult times that many Eurasian countries find themselves in," he said. In this regard, the EEC Minister in charge of Trade has mentioned that "the practical scope of the initiative is determined by life itself, and this scope widens." COVID-19 sharply intensified logistics contacts when everyone realized the need to diversify routes and increase connectivity. According to Andrey Slepnev, various challenges prompt growing understanding of the idea to reinforce financial settlements security and to find formats for sustainable development of international trade. "As for the Eurasian Economic Union comprising five Eurasian countries, it is one of the essential links in the Partnership. In this respect, we fully share the GEP ideology and spirit. We actively develop practical tools I would like to dwell on," emphasized Andrey Slepnev. Elaborating on the subject, the EEC Minister told about the Commission's work on free trade agreements. Such agreements allow getting rid of tariffs and in a sense are a response to opposing approaches that some countries insist on today. Here, according to Andrey Slepnev, it is important not only to open up, namely to lower tariff barriers, but also to create a good road map and clear the way for businesses to facilitate cooperation. "Among other things, it is about the land connectivity of the continent where multilateral professional dialogue is important, so that transport ministers sit down together and agree on eliminating bottlenecks and digitalizing transport corridors. No less important are financial instruments, as well as issues related to standards as they are a strong barrier to trade harming it as much as overly high tariffs," noted the EEC Minister. Special attention was paid to digitalization and climate agenda issues that require discussion and finding practical solutions including within the SCO and BRICS. "Partnership is absence of divides. Our leaders interact in the spirit of partnership. But we have yet to work together on eliminating all the obstacles at a professional level," summed up Andrey Slepnev.
