The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin and the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro signed on Wednesday (7) a strategic partnership agreement in a ceremony broadcast by state TV.
The two leaders discussed energy and oil during the conversations held in Moscow, the Russian news agency Interfax said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the strategic agreement would be a “powerful, substantial and very important document” without providing further details.
The Russian War in Ukraine has led to a collapse in its relations with most Western countries and led Moscow to strengthen ties with other countries that share their desire to contain the influence of what it calls “collective West.”
Since 2022, Russia has signed strategic partnership pacts with China, North Korea and Iran.
Venezuela has a recent story troubled with the United States, marked by broken diplomatic relations, sanctions and accusations of criminal activities and coup conspiracy.
During his visit to Moscow, Maduro should also attend commemorative events of the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union victory and his allies about Nazi Germany, including a military parade on Friday (9).
