Kazakhstan on Tuesday hosted a meeting between representatives from Russia, Turkey, Iran and members of the Syrian regime and the opposition.
The meeting at capital Nur-Sultan marks the 17th round of the Astana Peace process that aims to find a solution for the crisis in Syria.
Bilateral and trilateral meetings were also held alongside the talks.
After the first day's discussions, Russian special Presidential Representative for the Syrian settlement, Alexander Lavrentiev, said Moscow remained concerned over the activation of terror groups and the Islamic State group, and provocative actions against Syrian troops.
The talks are scheduled to take place over two days and will address different topics, including the delivery of humanitarian aid, the resumption of the work of the Syrian Constitutional Committee in Geneva, the exchange of prisoners, the release of hostages and the search for missing persons.
The Astana peace process, which seeks an end to the Syrian conflict, was launched in 2017 by Russia, Iran and Turkey.
