Expert says Eurasian Economic Union-Vietnam free trade zone deal demonstrates trust

The agreement on establishing a free trade zone between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that is entering into force on Wednesday, demonstrates trust among its participants, Dmitry Mosyakov, director of the Center for the Study of Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Oriental Studies, told TASS.

According to Mosyakov, the agreement “demonstrates a high level of partnership and trust” among those participating in it. “This step paves the way for mutual investments,” he said. “The Russian side is traditionally interested in investment projects in the energy sector, particularly nuclear energy, while for Vietnam this is also a perfect opportunity, especially in the consumer, textile and food industries,” Mosyakov said.

“The system is going to be further developed and many issues will be clarified as new tasks emerge,” he said, adding that “this is an important stage in the development of Russian-Vietnamese relations.”

Also, the expert ruled out that the EAEU-Vietnam free trade zone agreement will somehow affect Russia’s relations with the People’s Republic of China. “The relations between Russia and Vietnam are not connected with China” while “Russia and China have their own agenda of bilateral relations,” he said. “The traditionally friendly relations with Vietnam is a story in its own right, which is not related either to ASEAN, or to China, or to the United States, those are simply the relations between Russia and Vietnam, which are very important for Russia,” Mosyakov said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law on ratification of the agreement between EAEU and Vietnam, the first international agreement on preference trade terms made by the Union with the third side, on May 2, 2016.

The agreement was signed by heads of governments of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam within the meeting of the Eurasian intergovernmental council on May 29, 2015. Later on, it was ratified by national parliaments of all countries participating in the pact.

The agreement stipulates mutual obligations of participants aimed at simplifying access of goods to the markets. Also, it stipulates protection of rights for intellectual properties, outlines the areas for cooperation in the field of e-commerce and public procurements, sets common principles of competition protection and harmonizes customs formalities. The tariff liberalization of trade between the EAEU member-countries and Vietnam implies reduced or slashed to zero import customs duties (around 90%) – either immediately after the free trade agreement comes into force (59%) or within transitional periods (30%) – on the majority of goods items (all in all, around 10,000 items) on a quid pro quo basis.

FM: China, Russia should speed up linking Eurasian Economic Union, Silk Road Economic Belt

The governments of Russia and China should speed up the process of linking the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Silk Road Economic Belt, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.

“China and Russia should speed up linking the Silk Road Economic Belt and EAEU, in order to collect early harvest,” Wang said on the sidelines of the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) member countries.

The foreign minister noted that Russia and China “maintain close strategic cooperation on international and regional issues, and have become important components of international stability.” “Developing the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is an important force of preserving peace,” Wang said adding that Russia and China should continue close cooperation in this sphere.

EAEU and Silk Road Economic Belt

On 8 May 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping signed an agreement on cooperation in the framework of the Silk Road Economic Belt project. The agreement envisages “linking” the Eurasian Economic Union and the Silk Road Economic Belt. “In fact, we are talking about entering the new level of partnership in the future that envisages common economic space on the Eurasian continent,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said after talks.

The Silk Road Economic Belt is a project of creating a transport, energy and trade corridor between the countries of Asia and Europe. The idea of constructing the Silk Road was put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2013.

The name of the project traces back to trade routes of medieval caravans that lay through the territories of modern Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, India, Turkey, Iran and Greece. These routes were later called the “Great Silk Road.”.
