The Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Belarus and Belorussian Foreign Minister met to discuss a possibility of talks between presidents of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus.
President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev and the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko have discussed the Normand Talk between Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France in Minsk on the phone.
The statement was made in the annual press conference broadcasted on Russia 24 TV Channel December 18. President Putin emphasized that the crisis had been triggered by external factors.
Armenia has joined the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty. The agreement was signed in Minsk, Belarus at the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council.
EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy suggested in Ukraine expanding cooperation with the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
Apart from Ukraine, the sides discussed the current issues of bilateral relations between the two nations, as well as Eurasian integration and further development of the Customs Union.
Last week Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev made a statement on the country's right to leave the Eurasian Economic Union should the interests of the country be jeopardized.
The statement must have been taken out of context, or it was an impromptu, rather than a carefully prepared statement. I believe it is wrong to say there was no statehood in Kazakhstan: Maulen Ashimbayev.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Petr Poroshenko have agreed to solve the Ukrainian crisis peacefully, via negotiations and that mistakes like forcible takeover would not happen again.
Efforts we have been taking to launch the Customs Union, the Single Economic Space have been based on his ideas. It was he who came up with the idea of the Eurasian Union: Putin about Nazarbayev.
