[000:00:00;00] examples of where we are and what needs to be done, while it is certainly important to proceed from the principle of fullness, as a basic approach that combines both fullness and regularity, they realized that i was criticized two months ago at the ruie congress for coming up with new terms. but here i propose this termite to somehow stake out fullness. uh, according to business. today , the implementation of development tasks and plans, which are fixed in key documents and, above all, in the strategic directions of development, is of particular importance. eurasian economic integration until 2025, but the importance of assessing and balanced analysis of the above work. understood they even you said in your appeal to the leaders of the state.

the eu also noted this and at the previous meeting the eurasian economic council of the spit and other leaders came to the meeting. it shows that the successful completion of this work requires not only the position of leaders and member states, but also, uh, an increase in the powers of the eurasian economic commission in relation to the already agreed directions of the strategy 20 -25 off scientific and technical cooperation in health education not to mention technical regulation and digitalization to sports and tourism , it is equally important to launch such expected business institutions and tools as the eurasian reinsurance company financing the european eurasian industrial cooperation business means represented by the business council. the eu, a few member organizations, is ready to contribute to setting up a strategy for eurasian economic integration and adapting this strategy. uh, changing international

conditions for adapting current plans. however, it is important to understand. what will be the further medium-term and long-term directions for the development of the union in the context of the restoration of a multipolar world. i would like to address vladimir vladimirovich putin as chairman of the eurasian supreme economic council vladimir vladimirovich in my address to the heads of eu member states in his capacity as chairman of the supreme eurasian council. you, among other things , proposed to develop new long-term planning documents that will determine the main vectors of integration interaction for the period up to the thirtieth and even forty-fifth years. uh, as far as we understand these horizons, based on understanding, uh , the full implementation of the 20-25 strategy. and i would also like to ask questions related to the change in the world economic situation from

the world system today is going through this . serious transformation and transition to a multipolar world, this certainly affects the economic situation, relations with the economy, not only geopolitics. uh, how are you dear vladimir vladimirovich evaluate this, uh, these events, these historical tectonic shifts in relation to economic, uh, problems in context. eh, the roles and places of these processes. i would like to invite you vladimir vladimirovich to the podium. let's greet vladimir vladimirovich thank you very much, dear alexander nikolaevich dear friends ladies and gentlemen, i am glad to welcome everyone. i will try to answer the questions that were formulated by our presenter. i would like to note that the forum at which we

have gathered today will now be held regularly. my colleagues and i agreed on this in bishkek in december last year. such a wide range of representatives of public organizations from the five countries, and from other states, present in this hall of officials, entrepreneurs, experts, and from other states , says that the role of this association of ours is growing. about the rapidly changing world, which alexander nikolayevich mentioned about the successful development of eurasian integration and about the growing interest that our organization causes abroad, consider the topic of the forum eurasian the walkie-talkie in the multipolar world is very relevant, it covers the most important issues facing the eurasian union today and related to the creation of favorable conditions for the economy and at times and the development of cooperation throughout eurasia

. we see that truly profound fundamental changes are taking place on the global arena. more and more states are taking a course towards strengthening national sovereignty , conducting an independent independent domestic and foreign policy, adhering to their own development model, and all of them stand for the construction of a new, more equitable architecture of international economic relations; they strive to constructively influence world processes and expand partnerships based on mutual benefit, respect and consideration of interests. each other it sounds somewhat trite and like a stamp. in fact. in practice, this happens in reality in real life, it is important that these approaches are in solidarity with the majority of participants in international communication. i want to emphasize this. here with such an approach in solidarity

most participants in international communication. these are not empty words. so it is in fact. we are actively cooperating with major international associations such as the brix shanghai cooperation organization. eh, the association of the state with southeast asia by the council of e cooperation of the arab states of the persian gulf with the multilateral organizations of latin america africa and, of course, such a course should be followed. our country is the country hosting this forum of the russian federation today well, all our partners in the european economic. we are certainly interested in the union. honest productive pragmatic interaction, and i want to emphasize this to everyone, while answering directly the question of our presenter for everything. e, who acts thinks and does otherwise. uh, they are causing damage,

the world economy is shooting, in fact, in the foot and in the foot of those who are still forced to obey their dictates. and by the way, in this sense, they only reinforce that downward trend in the development of their own development, which international experts directly write about, including experts from in the united states, with their economic policy, they only reinforce the downward trend of their own development, as i said, they just shoot a lot, but this is their choice. and we are any second at any moment. we are ready to cooperate with everyone who wants to work with us on the principles that i have just mentioned, and cooperation on these principles is entirely beneficial to the members of the eurozone. now i want to return to our association, and the numbers speak for themselves. by the way, they

speak for themselves, and, uh, about the so-called downward trend of development. even today there are quite powerful e, the center for world economies. these figures are given by international organizations, which, by the way, is under their control, well, they just objectively say that they exist in the world. e trends. the figures also show how the economies of those countries that follow other principles for the development of relations are developing. so the numbers speak for themselves, despite the large-scale crisis in the global economy and trade , considerable geopolitical risks and factors of the uncertainty of the total gdp of the states of the eurasian union for 2022 decreased, but decreased by 1.6%. and some experts are there. uh, so let's say, as our people say, a completely different scenario was predicted around the corner . such a crazy scenario. nothing like this is happening, it hasn't happened, and

it obviously won't happen, i'll remind you. this means that our international experts for russia already show gdp growth at first they said 0.7%, let me remind you that the leading economies of the european union are minus there. the minus is shown by experts for the current year with us at first they said plus 0.7. now they are already saying, plus there is one and a half. and maybe it will be up to two percent, and this says a lot, so, uh. hmm, in general, trade within the euroses is growing at a fairly confident pace, which is also a significant indicator of the effectiveness of our joint work, in 2022, trade increased by 14%, uh, 83.3 billion dollars , it's no secret to anyone that our western opponents are trying to persuade with dishes various blackmail to force many of our partners to curtail profitable cooperation with

at the same time, they do not care about russia at all. what losses it will bring, i will note by the corresponding state by their people. in this regard, that russia always approaches interaction with all countries responsibly and down to simple weight, and we are fulfilling this in full, i want to emphasize this in full, we are fulfilling and on time the agreements adopted within the framework of the eurasian economic union. and in general, our agreement. we are doing it in full. now i don't want to. eh, how to return to what e constantly and a lot of uh, uh, our opponents were talking about the energy crisis in europe. well, i want them again. recall that who is to blame for this, yes, chris was. now, thank god, the value there is approaching economically, justified on the energy carrier. so who is to blame for what happened? in nord stream one nord stream one was blown up. nord stream 2 was not

opened. uh, the yamal europe gas route through poland has poland closed, or has it been closed? they also closed. so, there are two gas pipelines. through uh, ukraine ukraine one of closed them. speaking of the second thread. we supply gas to europe and ukraine , despite the fact that they call us an aggressor. safely cashing money for transit. we are fulfilling all our obligations in full, i want to emphasize this, uh, and, of course, we are doing and will do this in the first place with regard to the countries of the eurasian economic union, i specifically mentioned the situation in uh. in the transport and logistics sector. it is obvious that today the urgency of building new sustainable logistics chains and the accelerated development of international machines. in this job. we attach great importance, both within the eurozone and

beyond. in particular , just the other day, we signed an agreement with our iranian colleagues on the construction of a section of the railway on the project of the corridor to russia. this will make it possible to link russian ports in the baltic and northern seas with iranian ports on the coast of the persian gulf and the indian ocean in construction. um, well, a new branch begins this year, the interaction in the context of the creation of this corridor is carried out in close partnership with baijan and we look forward to the soonest completion of the preparation, e and signing of e, of the relevant documents in a tripartite format with the participation of the azerbaijani side, namely, an agreement on cooperation in the development of railway infrastructure and freight traffic along the north-south route, the full launch of this e, this route will ensure annual

transit up to 30 million tons of cargo and uh. this railway will not be able to successfully compete for cargo flows with traditional trade routes will contribute to the emergence of new regional transport and production centers throughout the eurasian space. and this means tens of thousands of jobs, additional opportunities for the development of all european member countries . cardinal changes are also taking place in the international financial sector, and i would like to note that russia is not only managing to adapt, but also becoming one of the leaders in these processes. we are pursuing a policy of reducing the share of currencies of unfriendly countries in mutual settlements and intend to work even more actively with partners around the world and eurasia, including for a full transition to the national currency to the use of national currencies

in foreign trade, many other rapidly developing developing economies of the world, including china india, the states of latin america, come to external settlements, and it is important to coordinate joint efforts to form such a new decentralized world financial system, of course, and the stability of all world finances will largely depend on this decentralization. the more decentralized it will be , the better it will be for the global economy. it will be less dependent on crisis phenomena in those countries that still do not have such an advantage as world reserve currencies. uh, they will increase security, not only calculations, but the entire world economy will do work in the field of the economy of additional politicization , i want to emphasize that in our work within the framework of the euro. we are always supported by the initiative coming from investors. and in general from business representatives. as an example

, i will cite the launch of the eurasian. here, here alexander nikolayevich also already said eurasian reinsurance company, which will allow more active investment in the markets of the union and other states , we welcome the activities to create the eurasian end of the national institutions of russia, it will become a platform for the exchange of experience and best practices will support the entrepreneurs of our countries, allowing us to formulate common approaches to approximation. fictitious operational projects are one of the priority tasks of the unions, we see in ensuring technological sovereignty our country has sufficient scientific personnel and production potential for the production of high-quality high-tech products are able to withstand competition in global markets. we understand that this is one of the most important moments, probably, at the moment.

and today, because ensuring technological independence is, in fact, the core of, in fact , economic, and hence political independence, as integration deepens and mutual interest in the training of high-mountain specialists, we definitely need to get closer, scientific and educational programs on space. here we are talking about both the unification of educational standards and its development of the independence of the eurasian sciences. with libraries available to researchers from all of our countries, our association also supports other initiatives that are aimed at the development of all of eurasia in particular. we continue to work with the people's republic of china to link the integration processes developing within the framework of the europeans with the one belt one road initiative proposed by chinese friends. thus, we are consistently implementing the large-scale idea of ​​building a large

eurasian partnership. the eurasian union is also pursuing an active line on expanding friendly ties with other states located in the near abroad in asia in the middle east in africa in latin america which states that represent the absolute majority of the world's population are the drivers today. these are the drivers of global economic growth, they are the key ones. points of attraction for investments and nodal centers of new over the past year, negotiations on the creation of free trade zones with iran and egypt have been launched similar consultations with the united arab emirates with indonesia, a substantive dialogue is underway in the framework of the implementation of international agreements with china , vietnam, serbia, and our other trading partners. additional content has turned out to be a network of dialogue mechanisms

of the eurasian economic commission, dear colleagues. tomorrow, together with those present here, uh, the leaders of the grater states, we will the next meeting of the supreme eurasian economic council we will decide on further deepening of integration we will focus on ensuring energy and food security, technological and financial independence acceleration. digital transformation, uh, the removal of regulatory and trade barriers to the development of transport infrastructure, which i have already mentioned. i would like to emphasize once again that we highly appreciate the interest of all euroses partners in building our cooperation i am sure that the integration experience we have accumulated can be used to develop existing and create new interaction formats throughout the eurasian region and the world as a whole. well, in

conclusion, i would like to wish all the participants of the eurasian economic forum successful work and fruitful communication, i am sure. what, uh, what a start we made today, as i said. eh, in my speech. with regular contact of this nature of this level, this start will be successful. thank you very much for your attention. thanks vladimir vladimirovich for such a capacious and profound speech. i would like to wish good luck to tomorrow's meeting of the supreme eurasian economic council, our next speaker is the president of the republic of belarus, alexander grigoryevich lukashenko, alexander grigoryevich, i don’t know if you have heard the video that was shown before the start , there was a link that eurasian integration began loneliness in the fourth year since the corresponding speech of the sultan was promised by

nazarbayev to moscow university, but now i remember your first inauguration. it's headed the russian delegation at your inauguration for my fourth year was and i can say that it is more confident to say that you will lose the integration processes in the post-soviet space, no less than the president and, of course, since you were the supporters of the integration processes. i remember how you wanted to keep economic ties in the post-soviet. the space and you in this whole can evaluate what has been done, what has not been done and yet, how do you assess the current stages of development of eurasian integration. well, in particular, uh, taking into account the specifics of the economy of the republic of belarus what role does industrial cooperation play, er, in ensuring technological security and technological sovereignty in the eu countries. well, and what directions will be , uh, priority for belarus in the near

future, how convenient is alexander grigorievich from the rostrum? fine. thank you for dipping us into the history of our eurasianism. what if we're being honest? as an experienced person, i was present at the origins of many processes such should tell you that our eurasianism is also in eurasia. current eu started in the kitchen of president putin, it really happened, so he is here, he will confirm and then the idea was good. i remember when he invited us home . the peculiarity of this moment was

that ukraine was with us at that time. whether something will work out due to the situation that already then began to take shape. in our post-soviet space and here in our region, but nevertheless, as many as 28, in my opinion, vladimirovich’s documents we developed together with ukraine. well, then ukraine from this process, as i thought, departed. the merit of nursan abishevich lies in the fact that no matter how hard we sometimes tried, especially russia at that time, to betray our union to a certain political character. maybe a little bit of a military-political nature, he always well kept us within the framework of the economic union, not one step left, not right. we are creating

an economic union, so only the economy. well, because the decision was always made by the ends. we have come to what we have today . well, if it seems to me, because you raised this issue. i think it would be in place about this, dear friends, dear participants, i believe that there are sincere people here, these are prominent economists. eh, supporters of our eurasianism. there are people who think differently, locking themselves into national boundaries, but nevertheless people who are interested gathered in this new hall. as it was said in the previous erator by the president of russia, the bringing of the eurasian economic forum, timed to coincide with the meeting of the supreme eurasian economic council it has already become a new tradition

new tradition good traditions. recently, the world has been living in a setting of constant tension and uncertainty. it is too. naturally, in the transitional period from the old , let's say the new ones, which we strive for, which were widely used. crises, financial pandemics, geopolitical change each other so quickly that people simply do not have time to take a breath and lose. unfortunately confidence tomorrow. in their federal conditions , a stable economy is always a powerful anchor. the economic borders of any state today are so transparent trading networks are intertwined to such an extent that achieving economic sustainability alone is an almost impossible task for any of

the states. therefore, any country is interested in participating in powerful regional and international associations. well, for example, such as essen. since today we are at the site of the eurasian economic forum, then we will talk about topical topics for us related to the investment agenda, yes, and some word is in this direction, therefore, we will stick to this course. in this regard, the first thing i wanted to say is that the international position of reinforcing our union since gaining independence belarus has always been at the forefront of integration processes - this is alexander nikolaevich just said one of the priorities for our country and for

our entire eurasian union is to strengthen regional and transcontinental alliances . these are new centers of power in the emerging multipolar world, ready to defend their interests and their own paths of development. the center of the world economy is irreversibly shifting to side of the developing countries. naturally, there will be development first of all. these are the countries of asia and africa, latin america and the middle east, these states no longer want to be raw material appendages, sources of cheap labor. they want to fully deservedly participate in the international division of labor and achieve decent pay for their work. everyone understands this. look, russia probably understood this before anyone else and began active contacts with african states. we are also trying

to cooperate with them all rushed to africa and look how the west reacted to russia's movement today. united states of america the russian ministry of foreign affairs and others involved in politics know how the americans are trying to slow down this process and not let you know that the chinese are there. here there is a struggle for these countries, therefore, from there there will be, uh, the future pole of our development is very active. this does not mean that we will not develop. in our opinion, the combination of integration efforts in the format of our eurasian union of sco and brix will contribute to creation of the largest coalition of the state.

if we, as a people, say we won’t spank, if we don’t oversleep, why is this an example in brik today more than a dozen applications have already been received, or maybe more countries want to join brix want to unite see this, the same thing is happening in the shanghai cooperation organization in the future . well, we are in the sco and they are in brix russia is the son. what are they, and there, complete inhibition was created at the mercy of those officials who allegedly manage in the apparatus of these structures, and today the moment is such that we must not go, offend, run, run, and uh, you need to hurry up those who want it, well, i’ll tell you straight to pick it up for yourself and then, if brix turned around, if i turned around, look at almost 40% of the shanghai cooperation organization e

of the economic potential accumulated already and how many people there, if these organizations acted faster perfect another policy would be in the united nations, we criticize it more and more often, but, unfortunately, today there is nothing to replace it with. but there's nothing in return, but so not not for the sake of replacement, but in order to see, well, what will happen next, we need to go faster in this regard, not so much for us in belarus, but for them as a large state, brix and the seam will miss time. we will never catch up with him. that one is running faster now, that one will be at the forefront for a couple of decades, so we need to combine integration efforts. it’s not in vain that i raise this issue vladimirovich. russia shouldn’t lower its head in connection with the situation

that has developed. russia can become a very strong locomotive and went to brix in giving the dynamics of the development of these e organizations, but it is also possible, what is the dream of progressive humanity in the future and uniting them. russia must be very active its authority, despite the fact that the west is shouting in all the media against russia is huge. russia took the risk of challenging the unipolar world. russia is at the forefront of these processes. well , we are nearby, so we need to act in this situation and in no case rely on situationality on the situation that is developing today in the world in the most peaceful and the constructive meaning of this concept will be an alliance of countries united by the desire for economic political stability

secured by a new architecture of international
