Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov called for broad business cooperation with the United States despite tensions in the bilateral ties.

Ryabkov made the remarks Wednesday on Russia's Channel One, confirming the "continued interest of business circles in both countries to expand cooperation."

He called on both sides to continue "in-depth interaction" in trade and business, particularly in the high-tech sector, including the pharmaceuticals industry, the aviation industry and more.

"From an economic point of view, the prospects for our relations are better than they seem," Ryabkov said, adding that the U.S. delegation has been the biggest for two consecutive years at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"Unfortunately, we see political leverage of the United States, sacrificing economic and business interests for geopolitics," the diplomat noted.

The relations between Washington and Moscow have been strained over Ukraine, Syria, Iran, the poison attack of an ex-Russian spy in Britain, and Russia's alleged meddling in U.S. 2016 elections.
