The signing of the EEU foundation treaty on May 29 in Astana, the
capital of Kazakhstan, and the launch of the EEU on January 1, 2015,
laid a solid foundation for the rise of a full-fledged international
organization that would have the necessary institutional framework.

of the organization as of January 2, 2015, and an agreement on
Kyrgyzstan's joining the union was signed on December 23.

in the format of the Union State. "Coordination of actions in the

the processes of economic integration, the deepening of collaboration

and Kazakhstan.
"The Russian-Kazakhstani treaty on good-neighborliness and allied
relations in the 21st century is called upon to accelerate this
relationship further," it said. "The document is adapted to match
today's reality and the conditions of Eurasian integration and it it
aimed at a joint rebuffing of the threats and challenges, which have
sprung up in recent years."
