Tajikistan will hold a rotating chair in the Eurasian Economic Community (Eurasec) in 2008 and its leader will supervise the work of the organization, the Russian president said Saturday. "At the meeting of heads of state in a narrow framework we decided to choose Tajikistan and President Emomali Rakhmon to chair Eurasec," President Putin said at the session of the Intergovernmental Council of the Eurasec in Tajikistan.
Earlier the leaders of the regional organization selected Tair Mansurov, a governor of North Kazakhstan Region and a former Kazakh ambassador to Russia, as a new secretary general of Eurasec. He will replace Grigory Rapota, from Belarus, who headed the organization since October 2001. A document on the budget policy, signed Saturday by the leaders of the organization's member states, said that in 2008 Eurasec is set to focus on the formation of a Customs Union and a single economic and transport space as well as of a common energy market.
The participants of the summit also agreed to hold a next meeting of the Intergovernmental Council of Eurasec in Moscow in May or June while Russia proposed to select a permanent place for holding regular Eurasec summits in the future. " Russia made a proposal to think about it. We will continue our meeting in an informal format as we have a concrete proposal. I believe that it [the proposal] will be acceptable," Putin said.
