Israeli and Palestinian Olympic officials have held a third round of talks to improve cooperation, meeting for the first time in Ramallah.
Officials met in the West Bank on Wednesday to discuss the free movement of Palestinian athletes and coaches and preparations for the 2012 London Games. The sides have held two previous sessions at International Olympic Committee headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.
A regular dialogue has been in place since the talks were arranged during a trip last year to the region by IOC President Jacques Rogge.
IOC officials said in a statement that both sides recognized the ''significant and concrete results'' achieved since they set up a hotline to improve communications in previous talks.
