Bin Zayed to Meet Putin in Belarus

The Kremlin's official spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced that President Vladimir Putin will meet the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during his visit to Belarus.


Peskov told journalists: "Of course, there will be bilateral communication for the president on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Union summit. As usual, this occasion is used to conduct numerous discussions. There will be a separate meeting with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the representative of the Executive Council of Abu Dhabi, who will sign the long-awaited Free Trade Zone agreement."

It is worth noting that the Russian president will begin a two-day visit to Belarus to participate in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summit.

The Eurasian Economic Union was established on January 1, 2015, and includes five countries: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. It aims to enhance economic integration among member states through a unified market allowing free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor, in addition to coordinating economic policies in transportation, energy, agriculture, foreign trade, and other areas.
