Russia
Defends Arms Sales to Venezuela
Russian Foreign Affairs Deputy
Minister Serguie Sisliak stated
the sale of weapons to Venezuela
is a sovereign decision between
the two nations, and denied
their deal would be suspended.
These weapons are not for
destabilization, asserted
Sisliak, who travelled to Mexico
to officially invite Mexican
President Vicente Fox to the
next Summit of the Group of
Eight in San Petersburg.
Sisliak said the bilateral deal
abides by the current
international laws in the field,
so "they will live up to their
decisions."
On the Group of Eight Summit on
July 18 and 19, the Russian
Foreign deputy minister asserted
oil price and energy security
will be on the table.
