On May 8, in Moscow, Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and Chairman of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, chaired a SEEC meeting featuring Heads of State of the Eurasian Economic Union and Bakytzhan Sagintaev, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

Heads of State of the Eurasian Economic Union were presented with a report on implementing the Strategic Directions for Developing Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025 based on the 2023 results. It was noted that most of the activities planned for implementation in 2023 had been completed.

Discussion covered the implementation of the Main Directions of the EAEU International Activities in 2023. The number of the Union's partners increased: memorandums of understanding were signed with the governments of Myanmar and Nicaragua, and a full-scale trade agreement was concluded with Iran.

The leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union countries supported the proposal to initiate formal negotiations on concluding an interim trade agreement with Mongolia .

In addition, the draft Protocol on Electronic Exchange of Information on the Origin of Goods with Vietnam was approved. Customs authorities will be able to directly receive the necessary information in digital format. This, in turn, will significantly speed up customs clearance processes and have a positive impact on trade.
