MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – The Eurasian Economic Union Countries should pursue a coherent industrial policy, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said during a meeting with the heads of the government delegations of the EEU and the CIS member states in Minsk, BelTA has learned.

“Belarus regularly raises the issue of the coherent industrial policy in the EEU. The only way to transform the EEU into a center of economic power is to develop advanced production facilities based on cooperation. In theory, this idea is supported by all. Where is its practical implementation?” Alexander Lukashenko noted.

There is also a need to think over the issues regarding the functioning of the EEU at a time when one of its member states is applying the unilateral measures of protection against third countries. “We need a clear mechanism for cooperation in such situations, primarily to ensure that problems are not created out of thin air between members of the union,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
