China offered to establish a free trade zone with the Eurasian Economic
Union in the future, Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov told
RIA Novosti.
"Chinese partners were very careful in regard to this integration in
the beginning. They simply needed to make sure that it works. Now they
show interest in increasing cooperation not only with the separate
countries - Kazakhstan, Belarus, Russia, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan in
the future, but with the union as such. And as far as I know they even
proposed to us, the members of the union, to think about creation of
a free trade zone in the future," Denisov said.
Denisov added that both sides are already discussing mechanisms to
cooperate in the future.
The Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus
and Kazakhstan, came into force on January 1. Kyrgyzstan's membership,
agreed to in December 2014, is expected to come into force in May.
