The deal marks Russia’s fourth such agreement in two years, following similar pacts with China, North Korea and Iran.
“Thanks to this treaty, we’ll see how relations flourish between a great Russia, a key power among humanity today, and Venezuela in the coming years,” Maduro said.
Putin called the deal a “good base” for future cooperation, though neither leader disclosed specific terms. He said the two countries were working on joint initiatives in energy, transport and pharmaceuticals.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier described the treaty as a “weighty, substantial and very important framework document.”
A good place for Russia to station missiles if the U.S. doesn’t remove the ones with which it has surrounded Russia. Remember a few months back Russian sent a navy frigate and a submarine to Cuba. Every once in a while Russia reminds the U.S. that it can no longer remain isolated from wars it undertakes in far away places.
