Syria and Venezuela said they faced the same enemy, as Russia supports them in the face of U.S.-led regime-change efforts.
Venezuela has said that more Russian military personnel may arrive to support the Latin American country, where the U.S. has sought to oust the socialist-led government.
Chávez's successor, President Nicolás Maduro, has faced overt pressure from President Donald Trump's administration to step down since parliament speaker Juan Guaidó declared himself interim leader in January as the country faced a historic economic crisis exacerbated by mounting U.S. sanctions. Moscow defended its deployment as part of its"military-technical cooperation" with Caracas and Russia's state-run Rostec conglomerate, announcing Tuesday that it had opened a new center to train Venezuelan pilots to fly Russian-built military helicopters.
Assad, who stood accused by the West of war crimes, has once again emerged as the top player amid an eight-year civil war thanks to backing from Russia and Iran. He offered his support for Venezuela during talks with Arreaza, who tweeted that he would"transmit the loving embrace of solidarity" to Maduro.
While the situations in Venezuela and Syria have polarized the international community, even some U.S. allies turned on Trump's decision last month to recognize the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel, a departure from the policies of previous administrations and the position of the United Nations.
