Abstract: Cooperation between the EAEU countries and China is central to the formation of a new architecture for Eurasian economic integration, a key element of global mutual trade and economic development, and is linked to geopolitical dynamics. Given global transformations, including the restructuring of logistics chains, digitalization, and the growing importance of the Asia-Pacific region, cooperation between these countries has become strategically significant. However, in recent years, the rapidly growing foreign economic cooperation has masked several challenges, and the growth rate of trade between the EAEU and China has slowed down. The article discusses the possibility and necessity of creating a free trade zone to deepen mutual trade between the EAEU countries and China.
