Moscow: Russia stands for the Arctic to be a territory of international cooperation and trust, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. "The Arctic really requires international cooperation, and this is an urgent need. Russia stands for the Arctic territory to be a territory of cooperation, mutual trust and joining forces," Peskov told reporters.

According to Namibia Press Agency, the potential of the Arctic is significant and is already being partially utilized in the interests of the peoples of the respective countries, as stated by the spokesman. However, Moscow does not observe reciprocity from Arctic countries in advancing cooperation in the region. Despite this, Russia maintains its focus on dialogue, Peskov emphasized.
