Leaders of the main international players in Syria will hold talks next month to discuss the situation in Idlib province and other key matters affecting the war-torn country.
Turkey's presidential spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said Ankara will host a trilateral summit on Syria with Iran and Russia in August.
"The meeting will mainly be on Idlib and other parts of Syria, on the general security situation, transition processes, constitutional commission, and re-settlement," Kalin said.
The three countries have differing views on the war in Syria with Turkey backing some rebel groups, while Russia and Iran have supported Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The three countries agreed in 2016 to hold regular talks on the situation in Syria with an alternative to the UN's peace efforts established, known as the Astana process.
The three countries have regularly met to establish ceasefires, including a demilitarised zone covering Idlib, Hama and Latakia provinces in northwestern Syria.
