This year will be a historic year for the entire Eurasian Economic Union and Belarus in particular. This was stated to journalists by BISR analyst Olga Lazorkina. The expert noted that since January 1, 2025, Belarus has assumed the presidency of the Eurasian Economic Union for the third time.
"Given that Belarus and the Russian Federation have been initiating a lot of proposals throughout the existence of this regional association, this year is very important for us," Olga Lazorkina said. "We plan to do quite a lot in 2025. Today, we need to enter a new platform for cooperation not only with the Russian Federation in a bilateral format, but also try to extend all best practices that we have developed in the Union State, to the Eurasian Economic Union. Moreover, the agenda has been harmonised between the EAEU, the Union State and global trends in general.
According to Olga Lazorkina, Belarus' key efforts in the year of the organization's presidency will focus on industrial cooperation, the development of a single transport space, digitalization and the external contour of the EAEU.
