Dvorkovich: Russia to cooperate with West despite 'short-term political processes'

MOSCOW. April 9 (Interfax-AVN) - Russia will carry on joint projects with U.S. and European partners despite the ongoing geopolitical processes, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said at a scientific and practical conference, "Scientific Experiments on the ISS", on Thursday.

"We are fostering partnership with European and U.S. partners in the difficult period of geopolitical confrontation. Everyone realizes the importance of this work, this cooperation despite short-term political processes evolving in the world," he said.

"We will continue to support and try to bolster rather than cut the resource base of this work, this cooperation," the deputy prime minister said.
