Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said at the Moscow State University that the Eurasian TV Communication Network, a high-speed railway connecting Minsk, Moscow, Astana and Almaty and the Eurasia maritime canal between the Caspian and the Black Sea should be built within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, BNewz.kz reports.
He reminded that the Caspian-Black Sea project had been developed in the times of the Russian Empire, but the project had never been realized.
The president added that the Eurasian Economic Union needed modernization of roads and railways between Europe and China. Nazarbayev proposed declaring signing of the treaty forming the Eurasian Economic Union the Day of Eurasian Integration. He proposed transformation of Astana into the capital of the organization. Nazarbayev emphasized that the integration process had nothing to do with revival of the USSR.
