US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin have met in China, after American and Russian diplomats failed to reach an agreement over easing the fighting in Syria.
“I’ve said all along we’re not going to rush”, said Kerry, who has negotiated several failed truces with Russian Federation in recent months.
After meeting with Putin, Obama on Monday held talks with French President Francois Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
President Xi Jinping said in a speech after the close of the proceedings that member nations committed to combat protectionism and revive worldwide trade and investment.

The president used an alternative exit, but quarrels with Chinese officials broke out on the tarmac and at other venues over access by US officials and the traveling press.
New British Prime Minister Theresa May spent much of the summit discussing Britain’s European Union exit, which will force the country to define anew its trading relationships with Europe, the US and other partners.
In his own news conference, Putin told journalists that there was a convergence of views between Russian Federation and the US. While expressing deep concerns in rising terrorism (particularly from the neighbouring Pakistan), Modi said that response to handling such elements should be above politics.
The conflict has killed as many as a half-million people since 2011 and caused millions of Syrians to flee their homes, contributing to a global migration crisis.
The northern city has been the scene of fierce battles between government forces and foreign-backed militants.
Any deal would depend on Moscow using its influence with Syrian President Bashar Assad to persuade him to ground planes and stop the assault on opposition forces.

“It’s clear now what our respective positions are”, the official said. The U.S. wants Russian Federation to focus exclusively on IS and al-Qaida-linked groups.
