Medvedev responds to the US Trade Secretary’s comments about Uzbekistan and the EAEU 

The Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called the US statement that cooperation between Uzbekistan and the Eurasian Economic Union would complicate the country’s accession to the World Trade Organization as a form of non-competitive struggle. TASS reported about this. 

“Today, one of the US ministers in Uzbekistan said that cooperation between the EAEU and Uzbekistan will make country’s accession to the WTO complicated,” Medvedev said at a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council. “All I can say is to use non-competitive methods of fighting”. 

The Russian PM claims that his Western colleagues do not like the integration processes taking place in Eurasia. “But, of course, we will continue to work with our partners in this area in all directions,” Medvedev concluded.
