Putin: economic integration with Belarus is impossible without migration According to him, it is not possible without migration integration. The president's words are reported by RIA Novosti.
“Of course, full-fledged economic integration is impossible without moving forward in creating a single migration and visa space,” Putin said and added that it is necessary not only to ensure labor mobility of the population, but also guarantee the freedom of movement of citizens, taking into account all the risks in this area.
“This is exactly what the concept of the migration policy of the Union State prepared by our governments is aimed at, and a lot of work has been done here, too,” the president stated.
Also, Putin promised to help Belarus. “Russia, of course, will continue to provide assistance to the brotherly Belarusian people, there is no doubt about it,” he assured.
Earlier, the head of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, announced that Belarus and Russia are starting to reload the joint economic space. According to him, it implies “the introduction of modern technologies, styles, decision-making methods.”
