The leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) gathered in St. Petersburg on Thursday for their 10th summit, focusing on economic growth and future prospects. Russian President Vladimir Putin opened the session, marking the EEU’s 10th anniversary and hailing it as a “self-sufficient center” in the emerging multipolar world.
Putin praised the union for its role in boosting trade, investment, and cooperation among its members, ultimately driving economic progress and improving the welfare of citizens. He reaffirmed Russia’s dedication to strengthening ties within the EEU and called for further discussions on advancing integration, particularly in developing a more unified single market.
The EEU, founded in 2015, comprises five post-Soviet countries: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. The summit allowed leaders to reflect on their accomplishments and set the stage for deepening cooperation in the years ahead.
