NAIROBI, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Somalia's interim government and rival Islamists have pledged to attend a fourth round of peace talks, a European Union envoy said on Wednesday.

"Both parties have reiterated their commitment to the Khartoum process and to a political solution to the Somalia crisis," European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid Louis Michel told a news conference. "They have both decided to resume the Khartoum dialogue process unconditionally."

Somalia's President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed speaks to Reuters during an interview in his Nairobi residence in this August 21, 2005 file photo.
