She also promised to help France hunt down the perpetrators of the Paris attacks. Both Cameron and Merkel held a press conference.
"This morning I held talks with President Putin, and I urged him to work with the international community to support a transition in Syria away from President Assad and his ruthless brutality. We need to find a way to work together to bring this fighting to an end and focus on the aim we all share: distorting the evil death-cult which is ISIL，" said David Cameron, UK PM.
"We agreed that the challenge of extremism can't just be tackled with military means, but only a multitude of measures, including an intensive cooperation of intelligence. services, but also comprehensive international cooperation and surveillance of internet communication. We also need to stop the money flows of the terrorists, and to limit all illegal activities as far as possible," said Angela Merkel, German chancellor.
