Tatiana Valovaya proposed that Canadian entrepreneurs work more closely with the EAEU countries
In Montreal (Canada) the EEC Board Member (Minister) Tatiana Valovaya drew attention of Canadian business circles to closer contacts with the EAEU entrepreneurs.
During the seminar, organized by the Canadian Business Association for Russia and Eurasia, she spoke about the aims and objectives of the Eurasian Economic Union.
Diplomats from the EAEU countries as well as Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Canada also delivered their speeches at the seminar: from Armenia - Armen Eganyan, from Kazakhstan - Konstantin Zhigalov, from Russia - Alexander Darchiev, as well as acting charge d'affaires of Belarus in Canada Dmitry Basik.
Tatiana Valovaya stated: “In the background of declining trade volume with the EU countries and some other Western countries, including Canada, in the past two years we have seen an increase in the foreign trade of the Eurasian Union with countries in the Asian region. In my opinion, Canada should not miss the economic opportunity.”
The EEC Minister shared with her Canadian colleagues the development prospects of the Eurasian integration project, highlighting the opportunities offered by the common market of the Union for partners from third countries.
Tatiana Valovaya spoke in more details on the powers transferred to the supranational level, the first results of the work of the Eurasian Union and the international cooperation of the Commission. She also answered questions about the specifics of the Union Customs Administration.
