Kazakhstan's President said Tuesday that all the member-states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) should be brought to one level of economic development in order to execute cooperation work on equal conditions.
It is necessary to bring all the countries-members of the EAEU to the same level of development for a more equal cooperation,Nursultan Nazarbayev said in an interview with Mir TV channel, Sputniknews.com reports.
"We need to bring all EEU members to the same level. Nowadays some [countries] are very advanced, or some are in the middle,and others are backward. That is the problem. We must bring all them up to work in a more equal way," Nazarbayev said.
He added that the less-developed countries hoped for assistance from other members of the union, or adding though that it was necessary not only to count on other states but to do efforts themselves.
"Of course,it is necessary to help. It can be done through trade, turnover, or opening markets for trade,opening borders. But each state needs to do its way to a certain level," Nazarbayev said.
