Calling the three countries together a “troika”, Putin said that it the trio is has strong industry and developed infrastructure, powerful human, intellectual and cultural potentials.

Putin declared that the new Union will operate based on “universally transparent principles” that correspond with the WTO (World Trade Organization) standards.
