MH17
On the sidelines of the summit, Australian PM Tony Abbott met Russian
President Vladimir Putin to discuss the downing of the Malaysia Airlines
plane in eastern Ukraine in July.
Australians were among the 298 people who died on Flight MH17. Western
nations say it was caused by a missile fired by pro-Russian rebels. Moscow
says Ukrainian government forces were responsible.
Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said the two leaders had agreed on the need
for a genuine investigation into what happened.
Ties between the two Asian giants have been extremely tense because of a
territorial row over disputed islands in the East China Sea. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-29999782
