US business ready to return to Russia - Russian Official

Washington, Mar 17 (UNI) American business is ready to return to Russia but is biding its time until the conditions are right, Boris Titov, a Russian presidential envoy for relations with international organizations for the achievement of sustainable development goals, said on Monday.
"The West does not succumb [to the idea of returning to Russia] in any way, of course, but we are open for any kind of cooperation. We hope that our ties with the United States will also start developing. At least, I have been to New York and I have met with US business. They said they would return," Titov told journalists.
The Russian official did not specify which US companies he had in mind.
On March 4, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Mayak radio station that Russia was open to cooperation with US companies but that they could not return as long as Western sanctions remained in place.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in February that Russia should consider regulating foreign companies' access to the domestic market to retain the competitive edge of domestic producers. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said that Russia would allow the return of foreign companies that were beneficial to it.
