Somaliland leader, Muse Bihi Abdi has held talks with a delegation from the international community in Hargeisa town of northern Somalia.
Delegates from Turkey and Norway arrived in Hargeisa on Tuesday barely after they held talks with Somali president Hassan Mohamud in Mogadishu.
According to sources privy to the talks, Bihi has accepted that his administration would resume talks but table preconditions, saying the talks would only be resumed with the presence of an independent secretariat to manage the meetings.
The leaders also demanded that both sides implement the outcome of the previous talks between sides, saying the agreements signed by the representatives of both sides including
the formation of a joint committee to work on how to control the airspace of Somalia.
In early 2014, the representatives from Somalia and Somaliland who met in Turkey crafted a roadmap to guide future dialogue, including the formation of an Istanbul-based Secretariat to frame the agenda prior to the ministerial talks.
Bihi expressed the need for an agenda that clearly defines the conflict between the two sides to discuss the primary issues.
Somaliland proclaimed independence from the rest of Somalia after the collapse of the central government of Somalia led by the late Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.
