The U.S. and Turkey had a "productive" meeting over the visa spat, the U.S. State Department said late Wednesday.
"Talks were productive and made substantial progress on the overall agenda; we will remain engaged as a matter of priority to address the relevant issues with a view to restore normal visa procedures swiftly," the State Department told Anadolu Agency in a written statement.
The parties also discussed the composition and terms of reference regarding the proposed joint working committee and agreed that the decision will be finalized soon.
