Of course, there are differences of opinion on various points, but there is a process, there is a dialogue, which, according to our understanding, will help to overcome these differences of opinion, says Dmitrijev to Russian journalists.
Dmitrijev further claims that the two sides have discussed possible cooperation in the Arctic and on rare earth metals. He also adds that work is underway to restore air links between the USA and Russia.
The White House has not commented on the talks, which are taking place simultaneously with the US attempting to achieve a ceasefire in the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. According to several American media outlets, Dmitrijev and Witkoff met on Wednesday.
Stanford-educated Dmitrijev, who is the head of the state-owned Russian direct investment fund and a close adviser to Putin, also participated in the Russian-American negotiations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in February. He is said to have played a key role in building the relationship between Washington and Moscow during Trump's first term.
