World

Hangzhou, Moscow – Russia’s President Vladimir Putin  met with U.S. President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the G20 Summit currently held in China’s Hangzhou and discussed the crises in Syria and Ukraine.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his US counterpart John Kerry as well as other officials from the two sides took part in the Russian-US talks.

“The meeting was longer than expected,” said the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, adding that “Work will continue”, SANA reported.

 

The last meeting between Presidents Putin and Obama took place on the sidelines of the International Climate Change Conference in Paris late in November last year. The two presidents met each other once again at the G20 summit in Turkey held on November 15-16, 2015.

In a relevant context, a source at the Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday stated that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his US counterpart John Kerry haven’t reached an agreement on Syria yet, but it is early to consider the talks a failure.

“The process will continue,” Russia Today website cited the source as saying. “There are no reasons for such dramatic statements as those being made by some U.S. State Department sources, that nothing has been achieved.”

Earlier, a senior State Department official said that the talks between Moscow and Washington ended without a deal on Syria.

The Russian source noted that Kerry and Lavrov met again on Monday after a short meeting yesterday on the sidelines of the G20 summit in the eastern

Chinese city of Hangzhou which ended without reaching an agreement.
