Armenian premier to attend upcoming meeting of EAEU Intergovernmental  Council

ArmInfo.  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will attend the upcoming meeting of the Intergovernmental Council of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). He announced this during a briefing on June 18, commenting at  journalists' request on his campaign promises to resolve all  problematic issues within the EAEU after the elections.

At the same time, the Prime Minister noted that he is currently  working on addressing these issues, as the EAEU institutions are  functioning. "These are ongoing processes, and we will participate in  them," the head of government said.

As a reminder, Armenian exporters are currently experiencing  difficulties due to restrictions imposed by Russian authorized bodies  - Rosselkhoznadzor and Rospotrebnadzor. In particular, the import of  all quarantine products from Armenia and their transit through Russia  to other EAEU countries are restricted.

Moreover, as Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu  previously noted, Armenia exports up to 98% of its agricultural  exports and 78% of its strong alcohol to the Russian market.

The next meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council (EIGC)  will be held on August 6-7, 2026, in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan. This  was reported by the press service of the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan  following the EIGC meeting held in Shymkent in May of this year.
