Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly, the National Assembly, has declared a new agreement with Russia on military cooperation invalid. The announcement was made on August 26.
The statement referred to “the agreement on military cooperation between the governments of Venezuela and Russia, signed by defense ministers Vladimir Padrino Lopez and Sergey Shoigu.”
“This agreement has not been reviewed by a committee on foreign policy, sovereignty and integration or parliament, making it unconstitutional, and this means it is null and void,” the statement said.
Venezuela's National Assembly has said that opening an embassy in North Korea would be "a violation of the constitution."
Earlier, on August 15, Shoigu and Lopez signed an agreement on mutual visits of military ships at a meeting in Moscow. The defense ministers also discussed the situation in Venezuela and issues of bilateral military cooperation.
