The Eurasian Economic Forum in Minsk featured a milestone event for the integration of Eurasian transport systems: the signing of the Cooperation Plan in the field of transport, infrastructure, logistics and development of international transport corridors between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the Executive Committee of the Coordinating Transport Meeting of the Participating States of the Commonwealth of Independent States for the period until 2030.
The document was signed by Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, and Gennady Bessonov, Chairman of the CIS CTM Executive Committee.
"The document lays a solid foundation for systemic engagement. Synchronized efforts in the field of transport and infrastructure in the EAEU and the Commonwealth are in the interests of all parties. Indeed, making transport a driver of economic development, commerce and social welfare is a common goal. The plan until 2030 sets a clear vector for this work," Arzybek Kozhoshev outlined.
The Cooperation Plan establishes specific areas and activities for joint work of the EEC and the CIS CTM Executive Committee. Its purpose is to enable sustainable and efficient development of transportation systems, competitiveness and mutual compatibility in the Eurasian space, which is critical for accelerating economic growth of the EAEU and CIS countries.
