Mikhail Mishustin: “The pandemic has demonstrated that our union is able to quickly and easily adapt to various challenges and changes. Thanks to our joint actions, the EAEU economy is gradually recovering. In the first six months of this year, the output of agricultural produce grew 0.6 percent, industrial production by 4.4 percent, and the manufacturing industry output, by 6.5 percent.”

From the transcript:
Good afternoon,
colleagues, Mr Mamin, Mr Maripov.
First of all, I
would like to join my colleagues in expressing sincere gratitude to our Kyrgyz
friends for the warm welcome and excellent organisation of our meeting.
We have a packed
agenda, with the coronavirus response efforts at the top. It is certainly of
the essence to protect our citizens from this dangerous disease. It has become obvious
by now that the most reliable way to do it is vaccination.
Residents of our
five countries have more and more opportunities to get vaccinated with highly
effective and safe vaccines that have been developed in our country. Kazakhstan
and Belarus have already launched their own production of the Russian Sputnik V
vaccine. The first batches of the vaccine have also been produced in
Uzbekistan. Our specialists will continue to provide assistance and scientific
and technological support for the vaccine production.
The use of the
COVID-19-Free Travel mobile app also helps to curb the spread of the infection.
Those arriving in Russia can use it to confirm the results of their negative
tests. It is simple and convenient. After
a successful pilot trial of the project, all five EAEU countries as well as
Tajikistan and Uzbekistan joined it. I
am sure that this step will help them quickly restore the free and safe
movement of their citizens.
