"An agreement in principle has been reached on a meeting in Moscow, although a few details have not been agreed upon yet," the diplomat said.
"There is yet no information on the time of the meeting. It will probably take place later [in the day], but we do not know when exactly," Nofal added.
A diplomatic source told Sputnik last month that the two leaders were considering coming to Moscow for Russia-mediated talks in late September, although the plan was not confirmed officially by either side.
