US and Russia have announced that they will resume talks on Syria, which broke down earlier this month. Officials said, US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Switzerland on Saturday to discuss Syria.
US State Department said Mr Kerry would discuss a multilateral approach to ending the crisis, including a sustained cessation of violence and the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries.
The key regional powers, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran are also expected to attend the talks in Lausanne. The announcement comes after two days of renewed air strikes on Aleppo, killing at least 75 people. Washington broke off all negotiations with Moscow nine days ago amid extreme tension over failure to secure a truce.
