Russia is expanding Arctic cooperation with Türkiye, China, and India, securing foreign investment for the Northern Sea Route. Rosatom's chief highlighted ongoing projects, growing transit with China, and UAE-backed logistics hubs, positioning Russia as a key player in Arctic development.
Russia is strengthening its Arctic exploration partnerships with Türkiye, China, and India, while seeking foreign investment in infrastructure projects along the Northern Sea Route (NSR), Rosatom chief Alexey Likhachev announced in Murmansk.
He emphasised that cooperation is progressing beyond invitations, with concrete agreements and active projects already in place, particularly with Türkiye. Russia is also engaged in discussions with Vietnam and several Middle Eastern nations on Arctic development.
Likhachev highlighted growing collaboration with China, citing the completion of 14 transit voyages through the NSR, transporting nearly 1.5 million tons—an unprecedented figure. Meanwhile, Russia is working with a UAE-based logistics firm on long-term projects, including the development of Arctic-class fleets, transportation routes, and essential logistics hubs.
He stressed the strategic importance of establishing these hubs, noting that the first nation to do so will play a key role in moderating Arctic activities.
Russia has already begun work to secure this position, ensuring its leadership in the region’s economic and logistical development.
