"A number of topical international and regional issues were discussed, including the creation of a broad coalition to combat terrorist and extremist groups, primarily IS," the press service said in a statement.
The Islamic State (IS, or Daesh in Arabic) is banned by numerous countries across the world, including Russia.
At the same time, the press service of the Kazakh president informed that the heads of state discussed the preparations for the upcoming meeting in Moscow within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
"The leaders of Kazakhstan and Russia also exchanged views on the situation in Ukraine, and expressed hope for a speedy crisis resolution by exclusively peaceful means," the Kazakh presidential office concluded.
Putin has long called for the creation of a broad international coalition to fight the Islamic State, including at the UN General Assembly in September. His initiative was supported by his Kazakh counterpart who expressed hope it would ensure not only national, but also regional and global security.
