Further steps regarding plans to design a tunnel across the Bering Strait between Russia and the United States will become clear closer to the end of the year, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and Russian special presidential envoy for economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev said on Friday.
"We are moving gradually and calmly, and by the end of the year, the next steps will be clearer," Dmitriev said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), commenting on the tunnel construction plans.
RDIF has signed an agreement with a company that will design the tunnel, Dmitriev added.
"There is a good dialogue [between Russia and the US] going on in many areas. So we are continuing the dialogue," Dmitriev also said.
The 2026 SPIEF is taking place from June 3-6. RIA Novosti is the general information partner of the forum.
