Russia sees significant opportunities for cooperation with the United States, particularly in the space sector, and is looking forward to engaging in talks with Elon Musk’s son about potential missions to Mars, according to Kirill Dmitriev, President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for international economic and investment cooperation.
Dmitriev, appointed by Putin last month, highlighted the potential for collaboration between the two nations, emphasizing the growing interest in space exploration and technological innovation. He noted that the two countries could benefit from joint ventures in space missions, which would further cement their role in advancing global space exploration.
However, Dmitriev also acknowledged challenges in achieving these goals, stating that multiple forces were actively working to derail U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to restore dialogue with Russia. These challenges come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Russia, particularly over geopolitical issues and the broader impact of their strained relations.
Despite these hurdles, Russia remains optimistic about the future of its relationship with the U.S. and sees immense potential for collaboration in areas like space exploration, where both nations have historically been at the forefront of technological advancements.
