💨 Abstract

Russia aims to attract international investors, particularly from the Global South, to develop its Arctic region, as per a senior official. This is part of President Putin's strategy to increase commerce via the Northern Sea Route, a shorter shipping route to Asia due to global warming. Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, believes this could attract substantial funding and partnerships from Global South countries.
