"The significance of the joint activities and their timelines should be determined in accordance with the 'Eurasian Economic Path' Declaration signed by the heads of state of EAEU countries. This Declaration envisions further development of economic processes within the EAEU until 2030 and up to 2045," the EEC minister of energy and infrastructure added.
