Opening
remarks by Mikhail Mishustin:

Good afternoon, colleagues,

The Great Patriotic War began 81 years ago today.
Today is the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow.

The war claimed tens of millions of lives. The people
fought to defend our country’s independence on the home front and on the
frontline.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the generation that
defeated fascism and secured our future. It is important that every Russian
family continues to commemorate and honour those heroes.

I propose honouring the memory of the participants of
the events of those years, their fortitude and courage. I declare a moment of
silence.

(One-minute silence.)

Colleagues, my working trip to Minsk ended yesterday. The prime ministers of Belarus and Uzbekistan and I toured a holding company for the production of equipment,
including construction and municipal equipment. We will do whatever is necessary
to reinvigorate industrial cooperation between our countries’ companies, which
is particularly important amid the economic sanctions imposed on us by
unfriendly states.

We also visited the Minsk branch of Plekhanov University. In
an effort to build integration within the Union State,
we continue to promote a single education, scientific and technological space,
and this university is a good example of this effort.

We used a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council to
compare our approaches to improving integration cooperation which is strong
despite the challenging international situation, a fact confirmed by the
positive dynamics of the key performance indicators as of the end of last year.
Trade in the EAEU has exceeded $70 billion and continues to grow.

We resolved to continue seeking cooperation to expand the
transport infrastructure in the context of import substitution, which is
important, and focused on creating a competitive environment in the markets,
and identifying and suppressing violations of the generally accepted rules.

Our union is operating in new geopolitical
circumstances marred by pressure from unfriendly countries and unstable
international trade system. In an effort to protect our markets, we are jointly
advancing a range of measures to improve the stability of our economies and
adopting decisions to ensure the free movement of goods, services, capital and
labour within the EAEU.

More to be posted soon
