The outgoing year of 2010 was successful for the post-soviet
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev said on Friday.
The CIS is a loose association of former Soviet republics. It consists
of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,
Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. Georgia
pulled out of the organization in 2009.
"The year was good as we reached agreement on free trade zones.
Documents will be signed in the near future," Medvedev said following
the results of the CIS summit held in Moscow on Friday. The papers
are set to be signed December 20.
Economic cooperation between the CIS members did not bear any
significant results in 2010, Medvedev admitted, but humanitarian and
cultural cooperation is "set very well."
"The issues of common history and cultural counteraction unite us
very well."
