ST. PETERSBURG, June 5. /TASS/. Cooperation the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states demonstrates a systematic transition from the usual sale of goods on foreign markets to joint projects and the use of scientific potential, Chairman of the Board of the Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund Artyom Novikov said in an interview with TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
"Today, the economic agenda of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation is developing very dynamically. We see a systemic shift from trade and economic cooperation and promotion, that is the goal of simply selling goods on foreign markets, to the implementation of joint projects, localization of production, utilization of raw materials, and the utilization of scientific potential and labor resources within the countries. This leads to the implementation of a whole range of investment and industrial agendas both within the Kyrgyz-Russian Trade and Economic Union and, in general, within the Eurasian Economic Union," he said.
Integration is becoming not just a trading platform where barriers between countries are removed, but an investment platform, which has a completely different nature of relationships, Novikov added.
