are the driving drivers of the world economy. more and more states are taking a course towards strengthening national sovereignty of holding an independent independent domestic and foreign policy adheres to its own development model, and they all advocate building a new, more equitable architecture of international economic relations, striving constructively, influential world processes to expand partnerships based on mutual benefit, respect and consideration of each other's interests. we are, uh, certainly interested in honest, productive, pragmatic interaction on everything. e, who acts thinks and does otherwise. uh, causing damage, the world economy shoots, essentially itself in step and step to those who are still forced

to obey their dictates. and, by the way, in this sense, they only strengthen that downward trend in the development of their own development, uh, which international experts directly write about, including experts from the united states speaking about political and economic sovereignty, vladimir putin also noted technological independence the eaeu countries, according to the president, have everything for this, the unions are one of the priority tasks. we see it in ensuring technological sovereignty our country has sufficient scientific personnel and production potential for the production of high-quality high-tech products. able to compete in global markets. we understand that this is probably one of the most important moments today, because ensuring technological independence is,

in fact, the essence of the core, in fact, economic independence means political independence as integration deepens, and mutual interest in the training of high-altitude necessary everything was the convergence of scientific and educational programs on the space of europe here. we are talking about both the unification of educational standards and the development of independent eurasian scientific systems and libraries available to researchers from all our countries. alyaksandr lukashenka also spoke about the constructive nature of the goals of the eec. according to him , the task of the union is not a confrontation about creating a safe space and at the forefront of the transition to a multipolar world. as the president of belarus emphasized, russia is coming , russia does not need to lower its head in connection with the situation that has developed, russia can become a very strong locomotive and has left

brix in telling the dynamics of the development of these organizations, but it is also possible what progressive humanity dreams of 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 situations. and, of course, the forum participants paid a lot of attention to purely economic issues of interaction between the countries participating in the eggs. in his speech, vladimir putin spoke about the stability of internal trade unions and the creation of new logistics corridors, and president of belarus alexander lukashenko devoted part of his speech to industrial cooperation. all speeches were followed by

our correspondent maria kudryavtseva, she joins us live maria welcome, if you look at the numbers. how stable are the economies of the eu countries and unions in general. hello natalia, despite the global turbulence. we see that the gdp of the eec decreased by only 1.6%, well, a little later i will return to this topic. and first, i would like to outline the key statements of the forum participants russia is fulfilling the agreements in full with all countries , vladimir putin said that with regard to the eu , the development of cooperation and the transition to settlements in national currencies, as well as the development of new supply chains, are continuing. and not only within the eu, according to the president, the so-called collapse scenario for the russian economy, which western analysts have been talking about so much

, has not come true and will not come true , the eu economy has also shown stability 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, a completely different kind of landslide. nothing like this is happening and has already happened. obviously won't happen. now russia attaches great importance to the creation of new logistics chains and the acceleration of the development of international routes, in particular, we are talking about the north corridor. south. here is what the president said about it, the full launch of this e-e of this route will ensure the annual transit of up to 30 million tons of cargo and e, this railway will be able to successfully compete for cargo flows with

traditional trade routes will contribute to the emergence of new regional transport and production centers on throughout the eurasian space. and these are tens of thousands of jobs, additional opportunities for the development of all member countries of europe vladimir putin noted that energy prices in europe are approaching an economically justified level and recalled that russia is to blame for the development of the global energy crisis. no, russia has always and fully fulfilled all its obligations, despite the steps taken by its partners. here is what president vladimir putin said about it yamal-europe route gas through poland poland closed , did we close it? they closed, that means two strings of the gas pipeline, through uh, ukraine, ukraine

closed one of them. we didn't do it. by the way, on the second thread. we supply gas to europe and ukraine, despite the fact that they call us an aggressor. safely cashing money for transit. fundamental changes to the global burning, but about those who advocate the former unipolar world to shoot from themselves much pointed out the president of the development of a multipolar world. today the president of belarus alexander spoke lukashenko he also spoke about how it is necessary to develop cooperation within the eurasian economic union, including talking about goals, trade and industrial cooperation. industrial cooperation will make it possible to create products under the eurasian brand with the maximum degree of localization, as well as to form new, import-substituting projects . more than a quarter of industrial

goods imported into the union, about $ 70 billion a year, can also be replaced by products of national manufacturers. also, the president of belarus noted that the food security of the eurasian economic union is now provided by 80-95% for different categories of goods, the development authorities of the eurasian union said another forum participant - this is the president of kazakhstan, let's listen. the key element was and remains the full-scale implementation of the treaty on the union . once again, i want to emphasize that kazakhstan is absolutely committed to integration precisely on the basis of the 2015 treaty, that is, the implementation of the four freedoms and basic principles such as non-discriminatory access to infrastructure, fair competition, equality and consideration of national

interests. the eurasian economic union is actively developing cooperation and friendly relations with other countries, which today are the drivers of the world economy. in particular. the union continues to work with china as part of the one belt one road initiative, which opens up new opportunities for joint development. here is what the chairman of the prc , the largest trading partner of the eurasian economic union, said about this today. last year, from two third-party goods turnover 243 and 6 billion us dollars an increase of 31%. there is a good growth dynamics and a huge potential for cooperation. the participants said today that the cooperation

of the eurasian economic union with the brix and the sco will lead to the creation of the largest association, but i remind you that negotiations are underway on the creation of a free trade zone of the eaeu with other countries, for example, with egypt, the united arab emirates and indonesia. natalya, the word to you yes , maria, thank you maria kudryavtseva told about work of the eurasian economic forum in moscow for one more day for business for 0 rub. with free service , alpha-bank is the best bank for business. meet the marathon of discounts at sber megamarket cashback up to 70% on the first order when buying sports goods with a coast in lenta quality in each purchase of langoustine shrimp 749-99 per kilogram. grader new in
