Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry could meet on the sidelines of the November 19-20 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Peru, a Russian Foreign Ministry source told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
The last meeting between Lavrov and Kerry was held on October 15 in Lausanne, when they discussed Syrian crisis settlement together with UN Special Envoy on Syria Staffan de Mistura and foreign ministers of Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The participants of the talks failed to reach a consensus over how to renew the ceasefire in the crisis-torn country.

A creation of Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP), which would include all APEC states, is one of the main topics on the agenda of the summit.
