On August 9, 2019, Ministers from five countries met in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan to participate in the session of the Intergovernmental Council of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This event marks the 5th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on the EAEU, and the 25th anniversary of the idea of Eurasian integration.
