Caracas: On March 10, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Antalya, Turkey. Venezuela is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Nicolas Maduro has supported his Russian counterpart since Russia launched an invasion of its neighbour Ukraine on Feb. 24.
The meeting took place five days after U.S. officials met Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro amid the crisis surrounding Russia’s invasion and suggested Caracas deliver some of its oil exports to the United States as part of an agreement to ease sanctions against the OPEC member country.
