Our correspondent reports that during their half an hour meeting the two leaders discussed larger bilateral issues, including strengthening of strategic partnership.<br/><br/>AIR correspondent covering the summit reports:<br/><br/>Two years of negotiations and twelve days of marathon discussions, the Copenhagen summit is yet to arrive at a consensus document. There is very little agreement between countries on the way forward to combat the crucial issue that threatens the very survival of planet earth. Heads of Government have begun to least the Danish capital, even as negotiators continue to be huddled to bring out at least some face saving communiqu’. These are the last few hours of the summit; there is all round disappointment that industrialised nations have not acted responsibly. There was optimism in the run up to the conference, but the summit has failed to deliver. So it looks it is back to square one in dealing with climate change.
