MINSK, 9 June (BelTA) – Partnering countries are interested in the Eurasian Economic Union even at the stage of formation of the union, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in an interview to the Serbian mass media, BelTA has learned.

“The treaty between the three states attracts a lot of attention even at the stage of signing. I do not speak about China. We already maintain a dialogue and cooperate with this country,” the Belarusian leader said. Today Vietnam, India and other countries are interested in the union. Even Serbia is interested in the association. “I am convinced that Ukraine will cooperate with the union,” the President added.

“It attracts huge attention even at the stage of formation. And this is right because, in my opinion, a new center of power is being formed. Probably, it will make an additional contribution to the development of the multipolar world,” the head of state said.

Alexander Lukashenko believes that the Eurasian Economic Union has great prospects. However, “it is necessary to demonstrate good economic prospects and prove that it is a viable union” in order to attract new members.
