This meeting reaffirms our growing interest in Eurasian
integration. Observer countries are taking part in the events of this intergovernmental
council, including Cuba, Moldova and Uzbekistan. Representatives of Tajikistan
and Turkmenistan were also invited as guests.
Colleagues, 12 April marks a very important
anniversary for all of us. It’s 60 years since Yuri Gagarin’s space flight.
Members of the Eurasian Economic Union put on anniversary events. And it is
symbolic that we will be reviewing a report on the development programme for the
production and delivery of space and geo-information products and services. We
will also be exchanging views on the prospects for developing cooperation in
space research.
The agenda of the meeting includes several important
issues that determine major spheres of our cooperation in such fields as industrial
production, agriculture and many other sectors.
I am quite certain that the decisions that will be
made during this meeting will give a new impetus to our integration within the
Eurasian Economic Union.
Once again, welcome to the Russian Federation. I would
like to pass the floor now to Askar Mamin, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan
and Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Union.
