The Customs Union of three former Soviet countries, including Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, plans to sign cooperation agreements with Armenia soon, Eurasian Economic Commission (EurAsEC) Board Chairman Viktor Khristenko said on Monday.

As reported by Interfax, Khristenko presented the results of his latest visit to Armenia and meetings with the leadership in Yerevan, saying that the document will probably be singed early next year.

On December 17, Khristenko and CIS Executive Secretary Sergey Lebedev signed a memorandum of cooperation between EurAsEC and the CIS Executive Committee. The document includes cooperation in the following areas: economics and finance, statistics, trade policy and simplifying trade procedures, technical regulation, standardization and uniformity of measurements, customs policy, transport and freight, migration policy, investment policy, competition policy, industrial and agricultural cooperation, and energy cooperation.

The news came as Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian traveled to Brussels to sign with European Union officials an agreement that would make it easier for Armenian travelers to obtain short-stay entry visas to EU-member countries.

Also on Monday President Serzh Sargsyan?s office announced a visit by the Armenian leader to the Russian capital of Moscow today to take part in a high-level gathering of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization.
