ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 29. The countries of
the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) need to accelerate the
implementation of key integration tasks, including the formation of
a common financial market, the elimination of trade barriers, and
the introduction of digital solutions, President of Belarus,
Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the meeting of the Supreme
Eurasian Economic Council in Astana, Trend reports.
According to Lukashenko, the further development of the union
should focus on the timely fulfillment of previously agreed
strategic commitments without postponement.
“The declaration on the further development of integration
processes must be implemented without delaying deadlines or
referring to various objective reasons,” he stated.
The President identified priority areas as the completion of
regulatory work related to the common financial market, the
development of the electronic digital signature system, and the
elimination of remaining barriers in mutual trade.
“We are discussing artificial intelligence, while issues related
to the practical implementation of digital signatures remain
unresolved. Since we agreed to pursue deep economic integration,
all goals and objectives of the Union must be implemented in a
timely and comprehensive manner,” Lukashenko emphasized.
He also called for intensified industrial cooperation within the
EAEU, noting that the current mechanism for supporting joint
projects has not yet produced the necessary scale of economic
impact for member states.
According to Lukashenko, national digital practices should be
utilized in the formation of common union solutions, including the
modernization of the public procurement system and the
establishment of a unified digital space without additional
restrictions for market participants.
The President of Belarus also expressed support for the
development of artificial intelligence within the union and
emphasized the importance of joint efforts in this area.
