VLADIVOSTOK, September 11. /TASS/. The partnership of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is able to produce tangible results, Russia-ASEAN Business Council Chairman Ivan Polyakov told the Russia-ASEAN business dialogue at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).
"The formation of integration economic outline on the Eurasian continent is able to improve the sustainability of economies.
