Moldova is Invited as Observer to EAEU Summit

Moldova has received an invitation to attend the summit of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) as an observer, which will hold in St. Petersburg in December, said the President Igor Dodon. The Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, the highest supranational body of the Eurasian Economic Union comprising Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. “In early December, heads of state and government of the EAEU will meet in St. Petersburg. We have been invited as observers”, Dodon said. He reminded that Moldova received the status of an observer state at the EAEU in May this year. “Moldova is the first country that has been granted an observer status at the Eurasian Economic Union. It is a new platform and new opportunities for our economy. That is why these integration processes - the CIS and EAEU - are of much importance”, he underscored. Along with this, he noted that the republic’s full-fledged membership in the EAEU is not on the current agenda. “A roadmap is needed and other agreements signed by Moldova should be taken into consideration”, he stressed.
