Iran’s First VP: Strengthening Ties with EAEU Nations is Our Top Priority!

In a significant move to strengthen economic ties, Iran is focusing on enhancing its relations with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states. This commitment was reiterated by Iran’s first vice president, who made remarks at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport before departing for the Republic of Kyrgyzstan to attend the EAEU’s Prime Minister meeting.

The EAEU, which Iran joined as an observer member in 2024, presents a vital opportunity for cooperation and growth in the region. The vice president emphasized that developing relations with neighboring countries, particularly those in the Eurasian region, remains a top priority for Iran.

  • Strengthening Economic Relations: Iran has actively pursued collaboration with EAEU member states during President Pezeshkian’s administration.
  • Cultural Commonalities: Aref highlighted the shared cultural ties between Iran and the Eurasian countries, which necessitate boosting relations across various sectors.
  • Progress in Cooperation: Over the past year, Iran has made significant strides, including the finalization of a free trade agreement with the EAEU, enhancing cross-border trade, transit, and logistics cooperation.

As part of his visit, Aref is leading a high-ranking delegation to Kyrgyzstan to participate in the EAEU Prime Minister meeting. The agenda includes delivering a speech and engaging in discussions with other heads of state to foster bilateral, multilateral, and regional ties.

The EAEU Prime Ministers are scheduled to convene in Cholpon Ata, Kyrgyzstan, from August 14-15. This session is poised to focus on promoting exchange trade within the organized merchandise market framework of the EAEU.

In conclusion, Iran’s commitment to deepening its economic and cultural ties with the EAEU highlights the importance of regional cooperation. The ongoing discussions and agreements are expected to pave the way for enhanced collaboration and mutual growth among member countries.

As Iran continues to strengthen its position within the EAEU, the country is set to reap the benefits of improved trade relations, thereby fostering a more integrated economic landscape in the region.
