In order to eradicate international terrorism it is important to develop a broad dialogue between religions and civilisations and to take action to address acute social problems, Mr Putin said following the talks.

Mr Putin noted that Russia remains firmly committed to developing dialogue, including on countering terrorism, with the world’s Muslim countries and with the Organisation of the Islamic Conference.
