Russia expects "progress" on economic talks with the US in the coming months, a Russian negotiator said Tuesday in Saudi Arabia, where top officials from both countries are meeting in what the Kremlin hopes will lead to a "restoration" of ties.
"We have a very important track on the economy," Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and Moscow's economic negotiator for the talks, told state TV.
"We have a series of proposals, which our colleagues are thinking about. And I think that there will, possibly, be progress in the not so distant future, in the next two-three months," he added.
He did not say specifically what those proposals were or when any future talks on the economy would take place.

The policy of ex-US President Joe Biden undermined confidence in the dollar and created many threats to the US economy, chief executive of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev told reporters.
ReplyDelete"It is absolutely evident the policy of President Biden undermined confidence in the dollar and actually created plenty of threats for the US economy. Imagine, the Americans saw today for the first time <...> that losses of the US companies amount to $300 bln. Nobody spoke about that before," Dmitriev said.
"The administration of [ex-US President Joe] Biden created a very wrong narrative in the American society, that sanctions do harm to Russia. In actual fact sanctions helped Russia to become more independent and affected the dollar, affected US companies," he added.
Representatives of Russia and the United States are discussing the revival of cooperation on the bunch of economic projects, chief executive of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev, who is participating in Russia-US talks, told reporters.
ReplyDelete"We met members of the US delegation and we are discussing the reunification of certain projects in the economic sphere. It is very important that the US companies for the first time heard this figure today: they lost $300 bln because of leaving the Russian market," Dmitriev said.
The discussion on joint economic projects is critical for the restart of the dialogue, the chief executive added.
