“We hope Armenia’s constructive work in the EAEU will continue”: Overchuk

Russia hopes that Armenia will continue its constructive work in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This was stated by Alexey Overchuk, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, in an interview with Marina Gromova, a journalist of the Vesti information service.

In this way, he responded to a question about Armenia’s continued participation in the EAEU.

“We certainly strive for this and see Armenia as a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. In the little more than 10 years that Armenia has been a member of the union, the country’s GDP has grown almost threefold. Income per capita and GDP per capita, respectively, have also tripled. Our trade in the peak year of 2024 reached $12.4 billion, while Armenia’s GDP at that time was approximately $26-27 billion. And of course, we very much hope that Armenia will continue to work constructively together with the other member states of the Eurasian Economic Union,” Overchuk said.

In addition, he revealed which topics were discussed at the meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in Minsk.
