The official Belarus news agency BelTA reported on Oct. 7 about Sergei Glazyev’s remarks at the Eurasian Business Forum “Integration” of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which he said has passed the test of the pandemic and is successfully developing today, despite the sanctions against Belarus and Russia. According to him, the work to implement the strategy for Eurasian economic integration development until 2025 is proceeding strictly according to the plan.

“Our integration association has proven to be effective as it has the competitive advantages of the participating countries,” said Glazyev, who is Minister in Charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission. “Our mutual trade is gaining momentum. Trade with countries outside the EAEU is also on the rise: last year, exports grew almost 1.5 times, we expect the growth trend to remain in place this year. Despite the sanctions, foreign trade has not dropped so much this year, we are rapidly increasing trade with our southern and eastern neighbors, especially with China and India.” (https://eacongress.com/ ; https://eec.eaeunion.org/news/events/evrazijskij-delovoj-forum-%C2%ABintegratsiya%C2%BB/)
Earlier this week, Glazyev also published his new book, What’s Going On? in which he said that the winners in the battle between the U.S. and Russia will be third countries, while Washington will inevitably lose its status as international hegemon. Telekanal reported on Oct. 4 that Glazyev thinks that the U.S. is now repeating the policy of Great Britain, which unleashed the world wars about a hundred years ago, hoping to maintain its leadership by pitting rivals Berlin and Moscow against each other. But London’s attempts were unsuccessful. Washington, a minor party to the conflict, emerged victorious. But now it, too, will repeat the fate of its predecessor, Glazyev said.
China and India, not participating in the conflict, will win, having already formed the core of the new integral world economic order and are rapidly developing on the wave of growth of the new technological order, Glazyev stated.
