About the Eurasian Economic Forum
The First Eurasian Economic Forum (EEF) was held on the eve of the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council (SEEC) with the participation of the heads of the EAEU's states (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia). The Forum was established on the basis of the Eurasian Week, which in 2019 was transformed into the Eurasian Economic Forum. The Forum's main goal is to accelerate the integration of the economies of the EAEU's countries, eliminate barriers and develop horizontal ties between economic entities. This year, over 600 participants from CIS and non-CIS countries have been invited to participate in the Forum.
