The latest round of Syria peace talks has gotten underway in Geneva with UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura hosting a delegation from the main opposition group, ABC News reported.
Envoys from the opposition High Negotiations Committee arrived on Wednesday at the UN office in the Swiss city for the third round of indirect "proximity" talks organized by de Mistura.
The UN envoy hopes to make progress toward a political transition in Syria as sought under a UN Security Council resolution and efforts led by Russia and the United States that paved the way for the talks to resume in February after a two-year hiatus.
A delegation from President Bashar Assad's government is expected to arrive later this week, amid delays over the holding of parliament elections in government-controlled parts of Syria.
Proximity talks involve de Mistura meeting separately with the two delegations in hopes of ending the five-year war.
