The engagement of Iran in cooperation with the EAEU expands the possibilities of economic interaction and enjoys our full support, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at the extended meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, in Yerevan Tuesday

Welcoming the delegations from observer states Cuba and Uzbekistan, Pashinyan informed that the signing of the 2024-26 joint action plan with Uzbekistan is planned today, and it will contribute to the expansion of trade and economic cooperation.

According to him, Armenia gives priority to the negotiations on free trade with third countries, which are disposed to mutually beneficial cooperation. He noted that the unfulfilled task of creating a single market of energy resources considerably slows down the pace of development of the countries involved.

Speaking about the urgency of implementing an effective transport-logistics policy, the premier emphasized the Crossroads of Peace project of Armenia from the point of view of cargo transportation, which can contribute to the formation of the most favorable conditions for the development of trade and economic ties between all interested parties. Of course, under the condition of respecting the sovereignty, justice, equality, and reciprocity of countries, Pashinyan emphasized.

He added that for its part, Armenia is ready to fully ensure the safety of cargo and people transportation through its territory.
