An informal summit of the Eurasian Economic Community, EAEC,
will open in Sochi this evening. It will open with a dinner for
the leaders at the Bocharov Ruchey residence. Here is some footage
which we received from Sochi a few minutes ago. Ahead of the official
opening, the president of Russia met the president of Armenia, who
is attending the summit as an observer. Vladimir Putin and Robert
Kocharyan discussed trade and economic relations. The Russian leader
noted that prospects are good because trade between the countries
is steadily growing. Kocharyan, for his part, said that for further
development it was essential to resolve transport and communications
problems and to focus on investment projects.
Later Vladimir Putin received the head of Kazakhstan, Nursultan
Nazarbayev.
New agreements on transport and freight were signed at the meeting.
[A report by ITAR-TASS at 1601 gmt said that two agreements, aimed
at "optimizing tariff policy in freight haulage", were signed. The
agreements were signed by the two countries' transport ministers,
in the presence of Putin and Nazarbayev.]
