Details
Special representative of the president of the russian federation, head of the direct investment fund (RFPI) kirill dmitriev confirmed that he is holding meetings in Washington with representatives of the administration of US president Donald Trump.
He did not specify with whom he held the meetings, but promised to comment on the results.
In his social media channel, dmitriev noted that the dialogue between Moscow and Washington was "completely destroyed under the administration of former American leader Joe Biden".
According to Dmitriev, the restoration of dialogue is a difficult and gradual process, and at the same time, some forces are hindering this process.
Today, on the way to restoring constructive interaction in many countries of the world, there are numerous forces interested in maintaining tension. These forces deliberately distort Russia's position, try to disrupt any steps towards dialogue, sparing neither funds nor resources for this
From dmitriev's point of view, "a real understanding of the russian position" is needed, and this, according to putin's representative, "opens up new opportunities for constructive interaction, including in the investment and economic sphere".
Let us remind you
UNN reported that, according to information provided by several American officials, the purpose of dmitriev's visit remained not entirely clear, but the meeting undoubtedly became part of broader diplomatic efforts.
