YEREVAN, MAY 27, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian government’s delegation, led by Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan, participated today in the Eurasian intergovernmental council’s session in Kazan, Russia. The Armenian delegation took part in the session in both narrow and expanded formats.

The government’s press service told ARMENPRESS the PM delivered a speech, thanking the Russian side and Russia’s PM Dmitry Medvedev for the warm reception and high-level organization of the session.

Speaking on the development of integration partnership within the EEU, Karen Karapetyan namely said “Every time Armenia declares that this platform is interesting and has prospects and is important for the development of our country and economy. I would like to indicate several key issues, which we discussed today in a narrow format – The first is EEU’s digital agenda. We are in favor of the digital agenda idea and we attach importance to it. We must continue working in that direction, moreover when operating, to some extent active systems already exist in our countries. We must take this into consideration, ensure their partnership, relevant tools and in the event of coordinated work we will be able to transform these separate systems into a common technological platform.

The second issue is partnership aimed at eliminating obstacles and barriers. Today, we were briefed on an analysis about what hasn’t been done in given areas. The Armenian side had said that the shortcomings that we have recorded will be eliminated soon. In this direction, the work is very beneficial  because it actually diversifies our mutual economic relations.

We are in favor of adopting the procedure on the outlined works for the agro-industrial complex and we have already made proposals to the commission on scientific-research works, with the purpose of including it in the relevant two-year plan.

I would also like to point out the issue of ‘single window’ in today’s agenda. I believe this is a quite interesting tool. We have gathered some experience, it is coordinated yet, but we have advanced in several directions”.

The Prime Ministers of EEU member states discussed issues related to deepening integration partnership in the fields of economy, customs, industry and agro-industry. Several documents were signed upon the session’s results – on the program of actions on eliminating barriers in the EEU internal market, developing the ‘single window’ mechanism etc.
