The UN envoy for Syria will host a delegation from the main opposition group as indirect peace talks involving envoys from President Bashar Assad's government resume in Geneva.
Staffan de Mistura and members of opposition Supreme Negotiations Committee were to speak to reporters after Wednesday's start of the third round of talks that began in February but have been suspended twice for breaks, ABC News reported.
A government delegation is expected to arrive in coming days for the "proximity talks" in which the two sides meet separately with de Mistura, but with no face-to-face meeting between delegations.
Assad's government was holding parliamentary elections Wednesday in government-controlled areas of Syria. Critics insist the elections are illegitimate largely because the five-year war has driven millions of Syrians from their homes, leaving them unable to vote.
