Rosoboronexport renders humanitarian aid to Venezuela to fight COVID-19

TSAMTO, August 19. Rosoboronexport (part of the Rostec Group of Companies) donated medical supplies to Venezuela to fight the coronavirus infection COVID-19 as part of humanitarian aid.

The cargo, including Russian-made test systems for the timely identification of infected persons and providing them with medical assistance, was delivered to Caracas and handed over to the Venezuelan side on August 18.

In connection with the pandemic of coronavirus infection, an objective threat to the life and health of the population of many countries of the world has appeared. In this situation, Russia, which has great fundamental achievements in countering large-scale epidemics, provides significant assistance to other states in this area. Taking into account the bilateral strategic partnership, Rosoboronexport decided to provide humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.

Rosoboronexport highly appreciates the level of military-technical cooperation between Russia and Venezuela, which fully corresponds to the nature of relations between our countries in recent years. As a result of successful and mutually beneficial cooperation, Venezuela has not only significantly improved the technical equipment of its armed forces, but also significantly increased the level of their combat training, which allows the country to reliably ensure its own defenses and successfully fight drug trafficking and organized crime.
