YEREVAN, JANUARY 17, ARMENPRESS. Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Tigran Sargsyan and President of Moldova Igor Dodon discussed issues of deepening and expanding economic ties of Moldova with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). As “Armenpress” was informed from the press service of the EEC, an agreement was reached to elaborate a memorandum of cooperation between the EEC and Moldova.

Tigran Sargsyan announced that the Eurasian Commission is interested in restoring the traditionally positive and mutually beneficial relations between Moldova and the EAEU member states. According to him, “the development of business cooperation, creation of maximally favorable conditions for business, removal of obstacles, and harmonization of customs regime will foster the development of the economies”.

President of Moldova Igor Dodon stated that “Economic cooperation with the EAEU is objectively beneficial for the citizens of Moldova and over 50% of them stand for close integration with it”. AT the same time he noted that making a choice of cooperation either with Europe of the EAEU is unreasonable. “Undoubtedly, we have to find mutual interests and opportunities for partnership both with our neighbors, the EU, and our friends, our strategic partners from the Eurasian Union”, the President of Moldova said.
