Investors anticipate flurry of bilateral opportunities

Russia and China have achieved positive results through cooperation on infrastructure construction, and investors are anticipating more opportunities, according to the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.

Kirill Dmitriev said efforts by Russia and China to coordinate the Eurasian Economic Union with the Belt and Road Initiative will stimulate business development by minimizing risk and reducing red tape.

"If our leaders continue to inspire and promote this cooperation, governments and companies will follow suit," he said. "However, to achieve this we need specially designed vehicles, such as the Russia-China Investment Fund, the Russia-China Intergovernmental Investment Cooperation Commission and the Russia-China Business Advisory Committee, to convert the positive and proactive attitudes of our leaders into tangible mutual benefits for both economies."
