The two presidents were also set to discuss major arms and energy deals at the Kremlin.
Venezuela has been a major customer for Russian arms exports in recent years.
Russian press have reported this week that Venezuela could be about to buy up to 100 T-72 and T-90 tanks worth $500m (£300m), three diesel-powered Kilo-class submarines, as well as armoured vehicles, helicopters and missiles.
Mr Chavez arrived on Wednesday and gave a speech at Moscow’s People’s Friendship University.
Characteristically, it lasted two and a half hours and included a tirade against the United States as well as a singalong, with Mr Chavez on maracas.
