It is necessary to continue creating an atmosphere of friendship, security and cooperation in the post-Soviet space, Vladimir Putin said at the Russian Foreign Ministry expanded board meeting Thursday.
"We need to expand our relations with our partners in the Commonwealth of Independent States(CIS), with whom we are bonded by historical, cultural and simply human ties,"Putin said.
The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is a key integration association. The EAEU goal is to create a common market for goods and services, capital and workforce. Consistent promotion of integration is already producing results for the participating states, driving their economic growth and helping improve the wellbeing of their citizens.
"We should use such achievements to involve new members and partners in the orbit of this organisation,"he added.
"Considering the risks and challenges arising along the perimeter of our borders, we should pay special attention to joint efforts with our allies in the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO),"Putin noted.
SCO is one of the most influential centres in the multi-polar world, multi-polar international architecture. It is substantially facilitating stability and a sustainable socioeconomic growth in Eurasia.
"It is in our interests to achieve closer foreign policy coordination between its members, primarily in the UN, and other international venues,"he said.
BRICS brings over 40 percent of the world’s population together and occupies more than a quarter of the Earth’s land area.
"BRICS should play a bigger role in international affairs and match the growing potential of its participants,"Putin stressed.
