VLADIVOSTOK, September 7. /TASS/. The integration associations of the EAEU, SCOб and BRICS, together with partner institutions, can become the backbone of the updated architecture of international regulation, President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Alexander Shokhin told TASS on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.

"The development of integration formats is on the agenda - the EAEU, SCO, BRICS. Together with partner institutions, they can become the backbone of the updated architecture of international regulation. It is important to synchronize the agendas of the EAEU, SCO, and BRICS and promote cooperation in industries with high cumulative returns," Shokhin said.
