Cooperation space - Boris Zalessky - Bog

In December 2023, a meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Independent States was held, at which the participants noted that the member states of the association were able to return to the growth trajectory this year. In fact, according to the results of the first nine months of 2023, the volume of industrial production in the CIS increased by almost three and a half percent, cargo transportation - by almost six percent. And further efforts of the countries of the integration structure will be aimed at removing obstacles in mutual trade, liberalization in the sphere of services and attraction of investments in order to jointly produce competitive products. After all, the creation of high-tech products with characteristics superior to foreign analogues is a benchmark for all participants of the Commonwealth. And there are already many examples of such effective cooperation, including in cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union. In particular, a cooperative project to create a Eurasian electric bus is under active consideration. Such cross-cutting integration projects in the post-Soviet space could utilize the joint scientific, technological and financial potential of the Commonwealth. How does this cooperation work today? This is the subject of the proposed paper.
