Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, January 20, held telephone conversations with his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro. This was reported by the press service of the Kremlin.
In particular, the Russian leader expressed Maduro’s support for the efforts of the Venezuelan authorities to strengthen sovereignty and ensure the country’s socio-economic development.
“The mood for further close coordination in international affairs was confirmed in accordance with the principles of strategic partnership on which relations between the two states are built … It was agreed to intensify Russian-Venezuelan contacts at various levels,” the Kremlin said.
In addition, the topic of combating the coronavirus pandemic was also discussed. Putin and Maduro stressed the importance of cooperation in the fight against the spread of the disease, including the supply of Russian vaccines to Venezuela. The leaders also discussed the implementation of joint Russian-Venezuelan projects in trade, economic, energy and other areas.
In November 2021, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia noted that Caracas was interested in organizing a visit by President Maduro to Russia and a return visit by the President of the Russian Federation to Venezuela. He noted that Maduro is a great friend of the Russian leader, however, in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, the organization of visits is much more complicated.
