President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar agree to set up a transitional government within 60 days as regional bloc IGAD threatens punitive action if they don't hold up their end of the latest peace deal for South Sudan.
The two men are due to meet face-to-face on Friday for the first time since a political row between them turned violent and plunged South Sudan into months of bloodletting.
Talks are set to resume in earnest Wednesday after the opposition withdraws a threat to boycott the negotiations.
