Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko thinks the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) was a very well-timed decision amid the crisis in the global economy.
"As for the formation that we created, the Economic Union, time shows that we took the initiative in due time to create the Economic Union," he said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Kazakh counterpart Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Alexander Lukashenko acknowledged that all three countries have to respond to various challenges every year. "Currently, there are certain challenges," he added.
Among other challenges, the Belarusian President called attempts to rewrite history on the eve of the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
"We face too many challenges today, including attempts not just to rewrite but even to deny our common history. Therefore, we must demonstrate our unity both politically and economically now, as we prepare to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Victory," TASS cited Lukashenko.
