LONDON—Vodafone Group PLC on Tuesday said it was in talks with Liberty Global PLC regarding the creation of a joint venture in the Netherlands to house both companies' operations in the country.

Vodafone said the discussions were ongoing and didn't extend beyond the Dutch venture, adding that there was no certainty of any agreement.

The news comes after the two companies ended talks in September about a possible "exchange of selected assets" after four months of discussions.

Liberty Global, which is controlled by U.S. cable tycoon John Malone, operates in some of Europe's biggest markets, including Germany, the Netherlands and the U.K., where it owns Virgin Media Inc.
