YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, ARMENPRESS. There is a huge interest worldwide for economic cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Member of the Board - Minister in charge ofIntegration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission Tatyana Valovaya said in a press conference on January 16. She informed that talks are underway with Israel, India, Iran, Singapore and a number of other states.

“This is a very positive trend. A trade and economic agreement with China is being elaborated. There is a huge interest worldwide, but naturally, it’s clear that the EAEU cannot hold talks with each of them simultaneously since it is not effective”, Tatyana Valovaya said, adding that they have other cooperation formats, for example with Mongolia, Peru and Chile which are interested in economic dialogue with the EAEU.

According to her the fact that nearly 40 states show great interest towards the EAEU, wishing to sign a FTA with it, documents that the EAEU is considered a single economic player with rather promising market. “Everybody understands that by accessing to this organization they will derive great economic profits”, Valovaya said.
