Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus together occupies 15% of the world's land, or more than 20 million square km. 170 million people of population live on the territory of the three countries.
It bears reminding that for the first time the idea of Eurasian integration was announced by the President of Kazakhstan at Lomonosov Moscow State University 20 years ago. It is planned to sign the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union establishment on May 29, 2014 in Astana.
"I am strong supporter of the fact that the Eurasian Union is possible only on the principles of voluntariness, equality, mutual benefit and consideration of pragmatic interests of each participating country. This initiative is a starting point for a new historical process, which is now called the Eurasian integration," the Head of State told.
