Russia sees shared investments in the region as both economically and politically beneficial, Kirill Dmitriev has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russia views both the US and China as potential partners for future oil and gas projects in the Arctic and would consider three-way investment opportunities, according to Kirill Dmitriev, President Vladimir Putin\u2019s aide on international economic affairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moscow and Beijing already cooperate closely on state-sponsored economic initiatives. China has invested more than 700 billion rubles ($8.7 billion) in over 50 projects facilitated by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Dmitriev, its CEO, told reporters on Tuesday in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Dmitriev has played a central role in normalization efforts with Washington since US President Donald Trump took office in January. He argues that joint ventures, particularly in the energy-rich and largely untapped Arctic, would offer significant economic benefits, should the two nations overcome their differences.<\/p>\n

\u201cRusso-Chinese projects are happening right now. Russo-American projects happened in the past and have the potential to happen in the future,\u201d<\/em> Dmitriev said, when asked about Russia\u2019s positioning relative to the two rival superpowers.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia is considering potential Russo-Sino-American opportunities, including in the Arctic and in the energy industry,\u201d<\/em> he added. \u201cInvestors could gain value by joining forces. Also, joint-investment can serve as a stabilizing element for future political interactions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Successive US presidents have branded China a primary geopolitical rival. Trump administration officials have accused previous governments of driving Moscow closer to Beijing by backing Kiev.<\/p>\n

Russia and China describe their partnership as a long-standing strategic choice grounded in shared values. Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated Beijing\u2019s commitment to a fairer multipolar world order during this week\u2019s Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, which Putin attended along with leaders from Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
