Mikhail
Myasnikovich, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, and
Cyril Müller, Vice President of the World Bank for Europe and Central Asia,
held a meeting on February 11 at the EEC’s headquarters in Moscow.The sides
discussed possible areas of interaction between the EEC and the World Bank,
issues of coupling the EAEU and the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative as well as
prospects for implementing a unified system of traceability of goods on the
Union’s territory.
Mikhail
Myasnikovich mentioned that the World Bank worked bilaterally with all the EAEU
States, however, more active interaction with the Union as a whole could give a
much greater economic effect.
The Chairman of
the EEC Board proposed to reshape the work in such a way as to move to
implementing infrastructure projects throughout the Eurasian Economic Union.
"These projects should be very attractive and
motivate countries to participate," the Head of the EEC Board
noted.
The sides have
agreed on new approaches to cooperate and implement joint projects in the
future for developing the EAEU countries’ economies.
