Mishustin sees Union State documents approved soon

MINSK, Sep 10 (PRIME) -- Russia hopes that all the documents on creation of the Union State with Belarus in 2021 and 2022–2023 will be approved soon, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a meeting of the council of ministers of the Union State on Friday.

“We hope that all the documents will be approved by the Supreme State Council headed by presidents Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko,” he said.

Mishustin added that 28 documents on integration in various industries have been prepared by the governments, banking structures and the business society.

Integration between Russia and Belarus should be based on the principles of openness and mutual trust, and the states’ sovereignty should be maintained fully, while the citizens of both states should take advantage of the integration processes, he also said.

Mishustin said that Russia and Belarus have decided to increase the number of railway routes between their cities despite the coronavirus pandemic.
