Our nations accepted with enthusiasm accession of three countries to Customs Union – President
ASTANA. January 18. KAZINFORM /Damir Baimanov/ Our nations have accepted with enthusiasm the accession of three countries to the Customs Union as far as this is the removal of border barriers not only between goods, but between people as well; President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev has stated it today at the meeting with Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill in Almaty.
According to the Head of the State, the integration of our nations is of paramount importance in the global world, and this is not even the politics itself, but the life of people which some time ago severed intercourses: children are there and parents are here or vice versa. "We have no rights to put cordons and make them stop their communication", - N. Nazarbayev noted.
"I suggested the second step - to create the Common Economic Space to promote the economic union. The idea of the Eurasian Union expressed in its new interpretation - is the development, strengthening of equal independent states, and I think this will be the future. This is for people and they will lead us to it themselves. Thank you and the Russian Orthodox Church for understanding and support", the President of Kazakhstan stated.
