During his greetings to delegates attending the American-Russia Business Council meeting, Mr. Mishustin stated that in such a situation, Moscow took a different stance and continues to improve the conditions for the activities of foreign companies, including US ones.

‘Of course, we are forced to respond to discriminatory, illegal restrictions introduced against us. But this it is not our choice -we are not going to put up obstacles,’ said Mr. Mishustin.

For the Russian prime minister, this Business Council´s work has greater relevance in the context of unilateral measures imposed on Russia and new economic challenges the world is currently facing up.

In this regard, Mr. Mishustin laid stress on the significance of fostering advantageous conditions for trade, economic and investment cooperation between both nations.

Mr. Mishustin stressed the need to jointly explore new business openings, launch promising projects, boost practical cooperation and to enhance both Russian and US citizens´ welfare.
