Italy's foreign minister Luigi Di Maio will on Thursday hold talks at his ministry in Rome with United Nations special envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
After their meeting, Di Maio and Pedersen - a veteran Norwegian diplomat - will hold a joint press conference, the statement added.
Pedersen has served as special UN envoy to Syria since January and succeeded Italian-Swedish diplomat Staffan De Mistura in the role.
