"The CIS is an excellent platform for meetings and dialogue with the countries Ukraine is traditionally linked with by trade and foreign economic relations," he said in an interview to Ukrainian journalists in Dushanbe after the CIS Summit.

However, according to the President of Ukraine, the CIS countries now lack a Free Trade Area Agreement, which would operate on the principles of the WTO.
Viktor Yanukovych also noted the importance of cooperation between the CIS member-states in sector programs, innovative technologies. "We should have access to the developments, where science is better. We all are interested in this. The exchange of innovative programs should also be resolved soon in our intergovernmental agreements," the President said.
