OREANDA-NEWS  American businesses are ready to return to the Russian market, but they are still waiting for a suitable situation, said Boris Titov, special representative of the President for relations with international organizations for Sustainable Development.

"We hope that American relations will also begin to develop. At least I was in New York, meeting with American businesses. They said they would come back," he told reporters.

Titov did not specify which companies he was talking about, but added that the partners from the United States are waiting for the necessary situation to develop. He also noted that European companies have no plans to return to Russia yet.

In February, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for careful consideration of the return of departed companies and not to lose the acquired potential. First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov also said that the Russian authorities would carefully consider each individual case and allow only those foreign companies in which the country is interested to enter the domestic market.
