A group of Russian military personnel arrived in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas on Saturday to take part in consultations with the country's government officials on bilateral defence industry cooperation, a diplomatic source in Caracas told Sputnik.
The source added that there was "nothing mysterious" about it because the visit was directly related to contracts that had been signed by the two countries years ago.
