On Friday, in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, the five member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) vowed to enhance their economic cooperation in various fields.
The two-day meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, which started Thursday, brought together the prime ministers of the five post-Soviet states, including Armenia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The participants reached several agreements in the fields of agriculture, energy and e-commerce, local media Armenpress reported.
