NEW DELHI: This year, the agenda of the Eurasian Economic Congress in Moscow was expanded for the first time, to include the Eurasian Economic Union’s cooperation with India, China and Arab countries.
Moscow hosted the Eurasian Economic Congress (EEC) on December 1, at which participants discussed ways to improve trade between Eastern European countries and Russia. The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is a partnership effort by Russia, Kazakhstan, Belorussia, Armenia and Kyrghistan to “integrate” their economies by promoting mutual trade. This year the agenda of the congress was expanded: for the first time, the EEU’s cooperation with India, China and Arab countries was discussed during this meeting. This economic “integration” will result in a multi-polar economic space with increased business opportunities for all concerned.
Participation of the seventh forum of the ‘India-Russia: Business-Dialogue’ was a key feature at this year’s Congress. The forum saw keen participation of the Indian business alliance in Moscow, the India Embassy and professionals from various fields.
