Syria's warring sides have agreed to future negotiations at the end of a fourth set of talks in Geneva, a mild breakthrough after a week of stalled discussions and a steadily failing ceasefire, Aljazeera reports.
Staffan de Mistura, the UN envoy for Syria, announced on Friday the conclusion of the intra-Syrian talks in the Swiss city having secured a finalised agenda for another round.
He said he would invite the government and opposition negotiators to Geneva for a fifth set of discussions later in March.
"We have a clear agenda in front of us," de Mistura told reporters. "The train is ready, it is in the station … it is warming up its engine … it just needs an accelerator and the accelerator is in the hands of those in this round."
