Russia Close to Signing Arms Deals in Latin America
MOSCOW (Sputnik), Daria Chernyshova The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean can benefit from closer cooperation with Russia, the executive secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) told Sputnik in an interview.

"Russia has many things that we can learn from and we can share [with each other] in terms of not only trade and investment. Russia is one of the major countries of energy, and also wants to diversify its economy. And this is also a challenge that we can share," Alicia Barcena said.

Moscow ramped up its relations with South America following a split between Russia and the West over the Ukraine crisis in 2014.

Over 2014, Russia has signed agreements with Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Chile, and Cuba, including high-tech and weapons sales, and naval facility construction.

On April 23, Russia's state nuclear agency Rosatom’s head and the Argentinian minister of planning signed a preliminary deal on the construction of a nuclear reactor at a power plant in Argentina.

The Russian corporation will be involved in the construction of the sixth power unit at Argentina's Atucha Nuclear Power Plant.
