Dmitriev pointed out that companies in the United States expect a signal to cooperate with the Russian Federation.

Cooperation between Russia and the United States in the Arctic will be useful, despite attempts to disrupt it. This was announced on October 16 by Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries.

"A lot of people are trying to disrupt any dialogue with the United States and any attempts at cooperation. But of course, we believe that cooperation in the Arctic with the United States will be useful for both Russia and the United States," Dmitriev said on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week forum.

He noted that many companies in the United States are waiting for a political signal to start cooperation. The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund stressed that US energy companies are interested in working with Russia, and discussions are already underway.

"We see a lot of potential in import substitution. We have already invested a lot of money in such projects. And in the near future we will announce some projects specifically in the field of import substitution," Dmitriev added.

When is the next meeting scheduled and how is the bilateral dialogue developing?

Retired US Lieutenant Colonel Earl Rasmussen, a political scientist, said in an interview with Izvestia on September 6 that many American companies would like to cooperate with Russia and have a negative attitude towards demands to terminate their projects in the Russian Federation. According to the expert, joint work could be carried out in the economy, as well as in the field of science and research in regions such as the Arctic and Alaska. According to him, such cooperation opens up many opportunities.

On September 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his willingness to cooperate. He clarified that Russia will move if political solutions appear in this direction — Moscow and Washington can work together in the Arctic.
