Peskov: Babich To Continue Work On "Integration"

Peskov: Babich To Continue Work On "Integration"

Russia's ex-ambassador to Belarus will coordinate and organize "integration" work.

Former Russian Ambassador to Belarus Mikhail Babich, appointed Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia, will deal with "integration processes," as the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stated, as Interfax reports.

Answering journalists' questions whether Babich's new appointment was a demotion, Peskov said: "Babic will in many ways continue to work on " integration " topics. Naturally, he will have many other powers and responsibilities. But what we know, he will be engaged in coordination and organization of "integration" work, which is extremely important.

"This is exactly what we need to keep in mind," Putin's press secretary said.

He stressed that "Babich has quite a high level of expertise, which, of course, he will be able to use for the benefit of accelerating various integration processes."

Asked whether the appointment of the 12th Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, responsible for integration issues, will be redundant, taking into account the fact that a number of agencies are already in charge of this issue, Peskov noted that "it is true that many agencies are involved in this issue, but it is the Ministry of Economic Development that will performs generalizing functions."

"At least the Ministry of Economic Development is one of the most active participants of the working process in this area," the spokesperson for the head of state added.
