ANTALYA. Nov 16 (Interfax) - Western partners at the G20 summit have shown greater than previous readiness for cooperation with Russia on the issue of fighting terrorism.
"We saw that partners are ready for closer cooperation on counter-terrorism issues. This is due not only to the events in Paris, but the agreements reached in Vienna as well," a source inside the Russian delegation at the G20 summit in Antalya told Interfax on Monday.
Another delegation insider told Interfax that all meetings held by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Turkey proved constructive.
A day earlier the Russian president spoke to U.S. President Barack Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping, the International Monetary Fund's Managing Director Christine Lagarde, and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Putin's final meetings on the first day of attending the summit were with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
On Monday Putin's bilateral agenda on the summit's sidelines continued. He spoke to Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, British Prime Minister David Cameron and the King of Saudi Arabia Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
