MOSCOW — A Foreign Ministry spokesman says that Russia may hold joint naval maneuvers with Venezuela.
Andrei Nesterenko said Monday Russian ships are to visit Venezuela before the year's end and the two navies could hold a joint exercise.
The Russian statement came after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced the maneuvers in his Sunday television and radio program. Chavez said Russian ships are due to call at Venezuelan ports in late November or December.
Nesterenko said the joint exercise wouldn't be directed against any third country.
