"It has been said many times that no one is forcing anyone to join either the Union State or the Eurasian Economic Union. Although these unions are open to other countries. We see interest from other states. A number of countries have already declared their readiness to conclude relevant agreements with the Eurasian Economic Union, some countries have become observers. Therefore, the process is underway, the dynamics are there. I am convinced that sooner or later these unions will become really attractive to other states, primarily those in the post-Soviet space," the Foreign Minister said.
The goal is to achieve a level of cooperation within these unions that would be attractive to other states. "We are moving toward this goal. The decisions that were made last year to implement the Union State Treaty will give a very serious impetus to integration. And many other states will see the benefits of participating in such integration associations," Vladimir Makei said.
