STORYLINE:
The Russian Navy’s frigate Admiral Gorshkov and the oil tanker Akademik Pashin, which are conducting exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, were docked in the port of La Guaira in Venezuela on Tuesday.

Venezuela is a close ally of Moscow in Latin America.

Members of the ships’ crews had the opportunity to tour the historic center of La Guaira, which dates back to Spanish colonial times.

Both vessels are part of the so-called Northern Fleet, which since May 17 has been carrying out tasks that include "displaying the flag" and "ensuring the naval presence" of Russia in "remote areas of the oceans", according to the Russian Defense Ministry, quoted by the Russian state news agency Tass.
