Russian weapons are being exported to Fiji at the official request from that country, Russia Today quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying Friday.

The weapons will be used to boost the efficiency of a peacekeeping mission in the Golan Heights, she added.

"A batch of Russian small arms and munitions is being supplied to Fiji at the official request of that country," according to Zakharova.

"These weapons will be used by Fiji's mechanized infantry battalion, a part of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) deployed in the Golan Heights," she added.
