Russia seeks to sign weapon sales agreements with Latin American countries, particularly Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, said Sergei Chemezov, the CEO of Russian state-owned corporation Rostekhnologii.

Chemezov said that "no new contracts are expected soon" with Venezuela, the biggest purchaser of Russian weapons in Latin America.
