Russia Explores Joint Projects Involving US and Chinese Investors, RDIF Chief Says
Russia is considering joint projects with US investors within its China partnership, according to Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. Dmitriev also noted American investors' interest in Russian-Chinese projects and highlighted Russia's advantages, including cheap energy for AI.
Russia is exploring the possibility of joint projects that would involve both American and Chinese investors within the framework of its partnership with China, according to Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian Presidential Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). Speaking via the Vesti Telegram channel, Dmitriev said: "As part of RDIF, we are also looking at a number of projects involving both China and the United States. We believe that within the framework of partnership with China, a number of projects could also involve American investors."
Coverage Comparison
The statements come as Dmitriev was traveling to China ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's official visit to the country on May 19-20. The visit, which was announced by the Kremlin, is timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation between Russia and China. During the visit, Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to discuss bilateral issues, deepen the comprehensive partnership, and exchange views on international and regional matters.
In a separate commentary to Vesti, Dmitriev highlighted the economic dimension of the trip, noting that American investors have shown significant interest in participating in Russian-Chinese projects, particularly in the energy sector. He pointed to US President Donald Trump's visit to China with a large business delegation as evidence of US interest in cooperation based on economy and investment.
Dmitriev also emphasized the broader strategic context, writing on X (formerly Twitter) that "Russia-China investment cooperation is vital for global partnership, prosperity, and security." He reiterated that the Russian Direct Investment Fund has already invested in more than 50 projects with Chinese partners.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
