Talks between U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and senior Iraqi officials are set to take place from May 1 to May 3, a U.N. spokesman announced Tuesday.

"We can finally confirm that the secretary-general's next round of talks with the representatives of Iraq will take place here at the headquarters from May 1 to May 3," spokesman Fred Eckhard told reporters in New York.

Originally scheduled for April 18 and 19, the talks were to follow on meetings between the secretary-general and Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri held in New York on March 7.

When the original mid-April dates were announced late last month, Eckhard had said the secretary-general was "hoping for a substantive and focused discussion, specifically on the issue of arms inspectors to Iraq."
