CIS Economic Council to focus on trade relations

Sergey Lebedev said participants of the meeting are expected to discuss the establishment of an interstate network of information and marketing centers intended to favor the merchandising of goods and services in national markets.
He said information and marketing centers would allow increasing trade turnover between CIS member states and provide consumers with high-quality and cheaper production.
Besides the trade cooperation, the CIS Economic Council will also focus on the improving of life standards of military conflicts' and peacekeeping operations' participants and those of people affected by terrorism.
The development of a joint anti-missile defense project, agreed by CIS member states in 1996, is also included in the agenda of the talks, Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
