Russia – Latin America
In an era of global uncertainty, Latin America consistently holds a special place in Russia’s foreign relations as a friendly region open to mutually beneficial cooperation. The increasing role of the Latin American region as one of the centres of the new multipolarity fully aligns with Russian interests. New dimensions, success stories, and joint breakthroughs are emerging in the multifaceted and constructive interaction between Russia and its Latin American partners. Trade turnover statistics from recent years show that Russian companies continue to expand their presence in Latin American markets despite unprecedented sanctions pressure. How is the implementation of strategic joint projects progressing, and what role do they play in improving the welfare of the people of Russia and the region’s countries? Which industries currently appear the most promising for mutual investments and increasing trade turnover? How can companies minimize their costs from logistical and financial constraints?
