A Russian naval squadron has left its North Fleet base for a joint exercise in Venezuela. It will be the biggest display of Russian military power in the Western Hemisphere since the Cold War.

A Russian navy spokesman said the nuclear-powered cruiser, Peter the Great, an anti-submarine ship and two support vessels will take part in joint rescue operations and anti-terrorism drills on the sea with the Venezuelan navy.

The Russian vessels will also carry out combat training tasks, including missile launches and artillery exercises, during the two-month cruise.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is also expected to pay a visit to Moscow later this week, during which he is expected to meet members of the Russian leadership and ink bilateral agreements on cooperation in energy, science and technology.
