Russia Declines Invitation to Attend Venezuela Talks in Lima

Moscow has decided to decline the invitation by Peru to take part in an international conference on “support of democracy in Venezuela,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

“We have carefully analysed the goals and objectives of the organizers of the conference in Lima and discussed them with partners in Latin America and representatives of several other countries. As a result, the Russian side has a number of serious doubts,” the ministry said in a commentary.
