The world leaders barely looked at each other as they shook hands after
talking about the stalling peace conflict in Syria, minutes before
sitting down to economic discussions in Peru.
In a statement released to RT, the Russian President's press secretary Dmity Peskov said: "The
presidents expressed disappointment that no progress has been achieved on Ukraine.
"At the same time, it was underlined that the two remaining months (of Obama’s term) should be used for finding a resolution of the Syrian conflict.
"To this end, it was agreed that (Russia’s foreign minister) Sergey Lavrov and (US Secretary of State) John Kerry should continue communicating.”
But while the world leaders appeared to agree on the need for more to be done, neither appeared to be delighted to see each other.
Their conversation ended in a brief handshake.
The White House did not provide details about the content of Obama's discussion with Putin.
The sideline during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit was not scheduled.
