ATHENS, Greece—Technical talks over Greece’s third bailout in five years are poised to start in the next day or so as negotiators representing the country’s creditors continued arriving in Athens Monday.

The talks involving lower-levels officials, delayed from last Friday, are set to incorporate a wide array of issues such as pensions and labor market reforms.

They are designed to pave the way for high-level discussions between Greek ministers and top officials from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund that should start later this week.
