G20: Obama and Putin held informal meeting

President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin have held an informal meeting on the sidelines of the Group of 20 economic summit in China.

Russian journalist Dmitry Smirnov wrote this on Twitter.

“The meeting of Putin and Obama at G20 in Hangzhou has finished: the presidents talked longer than it was planned. Putin and Obama discussed Syria and Ukraine, and then they talked in private and agreed to continue the dialog later,” Smirnov wrote.
