The meetings will reportedly focus on potential and proposed trade cooperation between Moscow and Washington. Presidential envoy will hold discussions with U.S. officials in Switzerland aimed at restoring bilateral trade relations.
Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian presidential envoy for investment and economic cooperation, will soon hold talks with a U.S. delegation in Geneva to discuss the restoration of economic relations, according to the Russian state-run Tass news agency on Friday.
Sources claim that Dmitriev is specifically focused on rebuilding ties with the U.S. and will not be included in the official Russian delegation participating in the trilateral negotiations regarding Ukraine, which are also scheduled to take place in the Swiss city on 17-18th of February.
The move follows a series of high-level engagements involving Dmitriev and officials from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov previously noted that the Russia-U.S. working group, under Dmitriev's leadership, is actively addressing economic and investment issues that remain separate from the broader security and political frameworks, according to Tass.
Dmitriev has consistently emphasized that companies from both nations maintain a potential interest in renewed cooperation despite the current geopolitical climate.
These upcoming discussions in Geneva come after recent trilateral consultations in Abu Dhabi, where the Russian envoy held meetings with U.S. representatives, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and special envoy Steve Witkoff.
