Russia is interested in Latin American associations' integration into
the Eurasian Economic Union (EU), Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov said on Wednesday, TASS reports.
"We welcome Columbia's active role in promoting integration processes
in the region, including in the framework of CELAC [Community
of Latin American and Caribbean States], UNASUR [Union of South
American Nations], Pacific Alliance [Latin American trade bloc],
Mercosur [sub-regional bloc comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay,
Uruguay and Venezuela]. Russia is interested in deepening its ties
with these structures both on bilateral basis and in the framework
of EEU," Lavrov told journalists after a meeting with his Colombian
counterpart Maria Angela Hualgin.
The Eurasian Economic Union is an economic and political bloc bringing
together Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia, with Kyrgyzstan to
join in May 2015.
The treaty to form EEU went into full effect on January 1, 2015. The
population of the union is about 171 million people and its gross
domestic product is expected to reach $3 trillion next year.
