Russia could send more military experts to Venezuela if necessary, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
Ryabkov said he had not discussed possible help from Russia in the restructuring of Venezuela’s foreign debt, during his last visit to Venezuela in the framework of the summit of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (Mnoal).
“On this occasion, this issue did not arise,” the diplomat told the press after the ministerial meeting of the Coordination Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement.
