The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza and the opposition have agreed to engage in what he described as inclusive dialogue to end the 10-month crisis in the country.
Mr Ban, who was in Burundi, said the president has also agreed to release 2,000 prisoners - not 1,200 which was reported earlier.
Hundreds of people have been killed in political violence triggered by Mr Nkurunziza's decision to run for a third term in office.
About a quarter of a million have fled the country.
