The partnership of the CIS countries and the EAEU should be built on the basis of innovation. This was stated by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at the opening of the II CIS and EAEU Youth Forum in Sochi, TASS reports.

"We are very glad that our young people are friends and work together. It is very important for us to build our community in such a way that it is convenient, comfortable, and youth-friendly. We are waiting for feedback from you in this sense," Mishustin said.

According to him, 55 million people in the territory of the EAEU countries are young people. In this context, the Chairman of the Russian government noted the creation of the Eurasian University, which was joined by 15 universities. From September 1, this university begins admission to the master's program.

The II Youth Forum of the CIS and the EAEU opened in Sochi on June 7. It takes place within the framework of Russia's chairmanship in the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union in 2023.
