"We have voiced the desire to buy a big batch of Russian anti-tank and air-defense weapons," Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said after talks with Vladimir Putin.
The president of Venezuela noted that his country has what to offer to Russia. "We have good sardines, which Russians like very much," Mr. Chavez said. They are very good to combat cholesterol, which is especially important in the Russian climate, he said.
Venezuela is at one with Russia in the struggle against terrorism. "We are in solidarity with Russia in combating terrorism. Terrorism exists in our country, too," the Venezuelan president said.
"When I was packing to fly to Moscow, a terrorist act took the life of a tax inspector who was investigating the coups in 2002 and 2003. He died in a bomb explosion," Mr. Chavez said.
"We share this struggle [against terrorism] and will continue it together," stressed the Venezuelan president.
