Deputy Prime Minister Saveliev pointed to the attractiveness of the Arctic sea route

Russia, with its unique geographical location, can offer the world an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz in the form of the Transarctic Sea Route, which is becoming the main safe route. This was announced by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Saveliev on April 1 at the International Transport and Logistics Forum (ITLF).

"Against the background of the emerging threats in the Red Sea and the unstable operation of the Suez Canal, the Transarctic Transport Corridor is becoming the main safe alternative to the Southern Sea routes," he said at the plenary session "Global Transport Corridors: Integration and Seamless Logistics."

Saveliev noted that Russia offers not just routes, but "safe and predictable transport routes for international partners around the world." He added that a new architecture of global trade and cooperation is now being formed, and in such conditions, the importance of reliable, sustainable and efficient transport routes is increasing many times over.
