The meeting will be attended by leaders of EAEU member states – Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, as well as Moldova (observer nation), and Cuba (invited country).

One of the key issues on the agenda is granting the Republic of Uzbekistan the status of observer state in the organization.

In his speech, the President of Uzbekistan is expected to outline priority areas of mutually advantageous cooperation between Uzbekistan and the EAEU.

Earlier this year, in May, the Oliy Majlis approved the country’s participation in the activities of the Eurasian Economic Union as an observer nation.
