MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin will host a summit of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in Moscow on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The leaders of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia will mark 10 years since the signing of the economic bloc’s founding treaty. A meeting in the so-called extended format will feature the presidents of Cuba and Uzbekistan, the EAEU observer states.
This will be Putin’s first international engagement after he was sworn in on Tuesday for another six-year term. He will also have leaders of the EAEU and the observer states as well as presidents of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan over for an official lunch ahead of the May 9 Victory Day parade.
