Russian President Vladimir Putin is poised to meet with his US counterpart, Barack Obama, on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation on October 7. The two leaders are expected to discuss the progress of their Syria plan, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said, according to Voice of Russia.
“The sides are coordinating organizational parameters of this meeting, and we think the meeting will take place,” Ushakov told a press briefing on Thursday.
“That was our proposition, which the U.S. side immediately supported,” he said. According to the presidential aide, the Russian and US leaders will discuss, amongst other issues, “the development of [earlier] agreements and prospects for joint work on the Syrian dossier.”
