MOSCOW, (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to meet Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to discuss oil prices, TASS news agency quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying today.
Oil prices – the cornerstone of both the Russian and Venezuelan economies – touched their lowest in nearly six years.
Peskov told TASS that Putin planned to meet Maduro on Thursday to discuss cooperation in various sectors, including in energy and banking.
“Of course, the situation on the global oil markets along with some other issues will be among the topics to be discussed,” Peskov said.
