Remarks by President Obama and President Putin of Russia After Bilateral Meeting

Excerpt (President Obama):  “Well, I had a very useful conversation with President Putin, and I began by thanking him again for the cooperation that they’ve provided in dealing with the tragedy of the bombing at the Boston Marathon.  We have a shared interest in countering terrorist violence, and we are continuing to strengthen our cooperation on this issue, including as we welcome Russia hosting the Winter Olympics in Sochi.”
