US Secretary of State John Kerry met with his Russian opposite number on Friday and made what he said was "a little bit of progress" on resolving their differences over the Syrian crisis.
"We're evaluating some mutual ideas in a constructive way, period," Kerry told reporters at the United Nations, one day after international envoys failed to find a way to revive a US and Russian-brokered truce.
Kerry and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have met several times this week in New York, including on Thursday as joint chairs of the 23-nation International Syria Support Group (ISSG).
But they have failed to agree on a way to revive the deal that they had reached in Geneva on September 9, under which Moscow would ensure its ally Bashar al-Assad honors a ceasefire and Washington would rein in Syrian "rebels".
