Venezuela’s Chavez pursues arms deals in Russia, Belarus (Roundup) - Americas
US-Venezuelan relations have badly deteriorated over the last several years, but the United States has dismissed as absurd Chavez’ allegations that the United States wants to invade Venezuela.
Chavez began the three-day visit in the southern city of Volgograd before travelling to the military rifle-producing centre of Izhevsk and then to Moscow for talks with President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday or Thursday.
Cooperation in oil and gas exploration is another key topic. Chavez is due to meet with Russian oil company representatives to discuss construction of the world’s longest pipeline running 8,000 kilometres across South America.
