Putin, Obama may meet in Sept ahead of G20 summit - daily

MOSCOW. May 15 (Interfax) - U.S. President Barack Obama, who is expected to visit St. Petersburg for a G20 summit in September, may come to Russia two days before the summit to hold a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Kommersant daily reported on Wednesday.

"Obama may come to Russia two days before the G20 summit to Moscow, not St. Petersburg. Then it would be a full-scale bilateral summit rather than a meeting on the sidelines," Kommersant reported citing its own sources.

St. Petersburg will host the G20 summit on September 3-5, 2013.
